If you don't like it, don't watch, and leave it for those of us who do. I remember this same kind of post twenty-some years ago about Jackson's movies. Those had some serious flaws, but were stil enjoyable.
The "if you don't like it..." mantra is bogus.
The real point about critical posts is deep-down begging the show to please please do better, because we want to enjoy it, but simply cannot for all the various reasons that have been posted: Poor writing, Fan-baiting, Guy-ladriel, etc., etc., etc. If the production doesn't hear critical reviews they think everything is great and the fans are happy, leading to the thought that mediocrity works fine. And the fans that are happy with mediocrity will only encourage more of it.
I agreed with much of the LOTR criticism that was made ("Go home, Sam" etc.), but I still occasionally rewatch the Extended Editions as among my favorites of all time. For whatever errors LOTR made, Rings of Power's are far more egregious (for critical viewers). And to their credit, there were some errors LOTR chose to not make (e.g., Arwen).
