Example of absolutely not caring about other people’s opinions, and just liking what’s enjoyable to me: once The Big Bang Theory was over, I kinda had to check out Star Trek out of curiosity. That’s how I more or less binged all of it in chronological order up to the then latest stuff (Disco and Pic S1). I’ve yet to find a Trek I don’t like. Sure, Disco has the main issue of not being episodic and that brings it down the rankings for me. Since Trek turned out to be pretty good actually, that got me to catch up on all the other things I missed when they aired, see SG1, Babylon 5, Quantum Leap, Charmed, Monk, Friends and How I Met Your Mother to name a few. And you know what? I liked them. I liked Morbius (pretty low on the list of superhero movies, but perfectly enjoyable). I liked the Enterprise theme once they sped it up, it ended up going from annoying to hilariously silly. I liked the Suicide Squad game so much that I fell into my usual trap of burning myself out, but I miss the fun banter while traversing the city. I liked the first Destiny, and don’t like the second. I like Ghost Recon Breakpoint, but not Wildlands. You do you, but I enjoy whatever I want, regardless of other people’s opinions on the matter. You’re legion? Hi Legion, I’m dad.
I’ve grown up on TNG and watched everything Trek. I do enjoy the new stuff. Is it silly sometimes and is the writing whacky? Yes of course. But let’s not act as if Trek ever took canon too seriously, and always had impeccable writing. It’s part of it.
I didn’t watch gossip girl so I can’t speak on that. And honestly, I’m a trek nerd, but your obsessive hate seems unhealthy. Just don’t watch it if you don’t want to, all the old trek is still there for you.
Kurtzman was writer and producer on the highest grossing Star Trek film of all time. Popularity is a shitty proxy for quality, but if that’s what we’re going with, I think Kurtzman comes out looking pretty okay.
But sure, you might be able to find a list that places it in second place instead, depending on their method. That hardly defeats my point. Are you really trying to argue that Into Darkness performed badly?
Nothing else you said is relevant if we’re judging Trek installments based on viewership, which is the metric you chose.

Deciding by oneself if something is enjoyable or not? Yeah, I can see how that’d be bad.

I do not believe that that is true.

Yes with inflation.

Ah yes, the true worth of a piece art lies in how many action figures it sells. Silly silly me.
