I used to know plenty of people that were into TNG, DS9, etc.
I've never met a single person "in the wild" who watches Discovery. Literally, not a single person. I have met some who watched Picard, and the response is almost always "Well, it's so nice to see the gang back together again..."
Star Trek is dead at this point. What remains is unrecognizable to what we loved and largely indistinguishable from Star Wars.
Apparently Picard season 3 isn't complete shit. I'm still not watching it though.
Modern media is usually awful, and wears the name of the old like a skin suit. On top of that, the bar is so low that stuff that isn't complete shit (but still bad) seems good and people rave about it. Like I'm sure Picard season 3 is about a 5/10 at best but in comparison it's like a gold mine compared to season one and two.

Never trust anyone who says that shows change.
If they're stupid enough and with bad enough taste to watch dogshit for 2 seasons, they're not someone whose opinion I can trust if it's any good now.
