Thanks for eating that crow, but . . .
Your post implies that Discovery lost the traditional Trek audience in favor of an audience new to Trek . . . and that isn't really true either.
While certainly some long time Trek fans such as yourself do not care for Discovery and some of the other new Trek shows, PLENTY of long-time Trek fans . . . like myself . . . LOVE everything new Trek.
It's (IMO) that hardcore element of any fanbase who just really dislikes change, but yet craves more content, that do not care for Discovery. And not just, "Eh, not for me" but a sometimes angry condemnation of the show.
For whatever reasons you dislike Discovery, that's cool. But there are plenty of long-time Trek fans who are loving the show and feel that, while it doesn't always hit the mark, it's great Star Trek. And really, which Star Trek show from the past didn't ALSO have plenty of problematic issues? That's right . . . NONE of them.
