For those who still doubt how disastrous Picard was and how Kurtzmantrek fails to deliver, there are some numbers finally available... not from CBS of course which hides them in shame behind their paywall membership shenanigans (i.e. even if you unsubscribed from their service, they still count you as a subscription for viewership purposes).
Agreeing or not with the discussion from this youtuber, just look at the articles, figures and charts she brings up and make your own conclusions.

Look at the graphics of Google trends dropping like the proverbial ton of bricks right after the first episode. As my very first critical review on the show gave away, I for one was part of that nose dive.
Had it not been for me wanting to give it all chances possible and reviewing it fully and fairly, the first episode would have been my last. It certainly is the case now with Lower Decks... As for the (finally!) final season of DISC, we shall see...
Surely, money will talk. The people at CBS will have to yank back Star Trek from these incompetent hacks and work hard to find their own Marc Favreau to finally bring Star Trek back; Seth McFarlane (The Orville), Vic Mignona (Star Trek Continues), James Cawley (Star Trek Phase II), Alec Peters (Axanar)... even Rick Berman is still out there.
Hope is still out there. May those interesting times come to pass as soon as possible. It's already starting at DC, Warner, Disney...
