First like 5 episodes they already have sexism, and ableism, as well as referencing Elon musk as well as capturing a creature and using it for there own agenda, like wtf is this? Does it ever become less shitty or should I just skip it?

Trek started going downhill after TNG.
At least DS9 tried to maintain the “morality play” idea while expanding into a larger-world concept.
Then Enterprise struck, with the “gotta fill the back story for all the kids who just can’t stand to not know all the details of how it started”.
This concept/approach has killed so much stuff in the last 20 years.
TNG sucks
I’ll let myself out
I don’t know if I’d go that far. I enjoyed it when it first aired but I can’t watch reruns of about 90% of the episodes.
As someone who loves TNG, it’s a very mixed bag of a show. It has very high highs, and very low lows. It’s a product of its era of television for better or worse.
DS9 is peak Star Trek. Its far from perfect, but so is TNG. It’s the last Trek series to truly have vision. Subsequent writers unfortunately took the wrong lessons from the series, but we can hardly blame DS9 for that.
The TNG films and Voyager are what began Star Treks downward spiral. Poor creative decisions and studio meddling doomed the TNG Films. Meanwhile, sloppy writing and a flawed premise that the show couldn’t even stick to make Voyager the most mid 90s Trek.
ENT was just the final nail in the coffin. A complete regression of the series that nobody asked for. A desperate attempt at revival by a creative team that was out of ideas.
