It's good to know we're both people of conviction 
Season four was better, but to my mind any other direction would have been an improvement. Still, it did not deserve that ending. If I recall correctly, they inserted Troy and Riker as a way to try and drum up fan interest for a fifth TNG movie. And, after ST: Nemesis, who could blame Paramount for passing on that?
I tried watching Discovery twice but abandoned it five or six eps in on both tries. I never saw Prodigy, my impression being it was intended for kids and I believe it was on some service I don't have anyway. SNW started out good but has slid in each successive season with the silliness quotient off the scale of late. The first two seasons of Picard were dreck and it was only salvaged by a third season of complete, unabashed fan service. I bailed on Starfleet Academy after the third episode, with each worse than the one that proceeded it. It's loud, dumb YA trash and I'll die on that hill. But any problems I have with it are due to the writing/acting and not whatever grievances the RWNJ-spere has with it. The Youtube reviews of it are just vile trash.
So, at this point, I mostly just watch the original six series and movies and hope that maybe something better will happen some day. Big maybe.
