The Federation is helping a planet transition out of capitalism to post-scarcity, and it's basically a huge celebration.

Old Trek always danced around it, but In Strange New Worlds there's a roughly 3000 year old character in Starfleet who says "I still have a bunker in Vermont in case this 'no money socialist utopia' thing turns out to be a fad"
I tried getting into Strange New Worlds but it just feels like generic nutrek. The same unnecessary constant violence, the same poorly-written incoherent arc for the main character, the same tired old prequel approach instead of being set sometime after the events of other series. It's just more STD with some TOS paint slapped on top.
Unfortunately, I agree. The tipping point for me was the humour. I don’t like it and I don’t want it. It’s funny how I could be tolerant of cliche in many other types of entertainment, but cliche comedy very quickly turns me off.
That and the resurrection of ancient characters. It’s fan service (I learned this term watching reviews of SNW/picard and learned to hate it) and adds very little to the show. I’m much less interested in the interpersonal dramas, I want to see more (any) space communism and aspirational utopia progaganda.
