.. I sorta liked all ST shows up until the late 2000s, even ENT, which wasn't labeled as ST: originally.
They had all their pros and cons, but were equally optimistic.
Which to many existing fans is the very core of ST, I think. The dream of a better humanity in the future.
ST was about the only series that showed our potential.
And that's exactly what the current shows are up to destroy.
The 2009 film started with a scene of young Kirk driving his (step) father's ~1966 Corvetten into an abyss, while the song "Sabotage" was running.
The not so subtle message, as perceived by many fans, was like: 'Yo! Old time fans, kiss my ***!' Yeah, very nice.

Anyway, the only thing an individual like me can do is preserving the old shows by buying physical copies.
I don't trust CBS. Maybe they'll ban or stop selling rights of the old shows in favor of the 2009+ shows.
And yes, I'm currently watching the new shows, too, even though it really hurts. Massively.
It's like fighting the disgust about Windows 10/11 and keep tinkering with it, just for the sake of being up-to-date.
Edit: Please don't get me wrong.
If these, uhm, "works" wouldn't have been tagged with an ST label, perhaps I wouldn't have said anything.
Without any official relationship to ST, they would make a good entertainment (for the crowd) or would qualify as a parody, even.
But what we see now isn't what ST stands for, I think.
In fact, I'd rather be willing to see Chewbacca in the captain's chair.
He used to be an honorable,dependable character with pride and dignity, at least.
