There are tons of interviews, news, etc. and actors and actresses + show runners involved with DS9 talking about its unpopularity at the time.

You know what, I misinterpreted your comment.

Though I do think "hated" is a bit much - DS9 certainly was the least popular of the 90s shows, but...it ran for seven years.

@ValueSubtracted

I liked #DS9. It wasn't just one big happy Starfleet crew. The interplay was infinitely more interesting for it.

By contrast, I hated #Voyager because even though there should have been tension between the combined Starfleet and Maquis crews, they ruthlessly and relentlessly suppressed even the slightest appearance of it. Also, I didn't think much of Kathryn Janeway's philosophy.

But for these very reasons, most fans seemed to love Voyager and hate DS9.

@benfell @ValueSubtracted I loved both of them but obviously DS9 was the better show
