Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Is Not Starfleet
You can have your opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek, but forcing them on others is not allowed.

Wishing death on a cohort due to difference of opinion really does not add any value to a conversation or paint you in a good light.
Critically loved apparently has no value if it doesn't translate to high viewership or whatever reason execs truly had to cancel.
Attacking and hoping for the death of others is big energy but why are you focusing it at your peers who aren't enjoying your show? Why not consider the executives who actually did the cancelling? Or may have had a hand in directional choices that impacted reach and viewership.
Streaming has changed, arguably the golden age is over, well received, profitable shows have been cancelled because there are cheaper more profitable alternatives.
It sucks that a trek show is ending and I get you are not happy, but you have to critically think about how we got here. There's no conspiracy that 90-00s trek enjoyers ended it. Ultimately some suits in an office said no to it.
