didn’t watch anime in that time tho
You poor soul. How did you survive? Can you teach us your ways?
painkillers and booze
I thought I’ve watched a lot of Trek … I’ve seen all of TNG, VOY, half of TOS, a few episodes of DS9, DISCO, and currently watching SNW Season 2 … and I’ve seen most of the movies
According to this Comic Book Resources …
Every single television series, both currently airing and retired, totals up to around 48,700 minutes, which is approximately 812 hours or 33.8 days. Every series and movie combined totals 837.5 hours, meaning it will take 34.9 days to watch them all uninterrupted.

I’ve seen all of TOS, TNG (including the movies for both), DS9, about half of VOY (working through it right now), the first…3? seasons of DIS, one episode of PIC, all of LDs, SNW, and Pro, and the three Kelvinverse movies. So I feel like I’m closing in pretty well.
That said, I’m surprised that there are 900 episodes and nearly 840 hours. Considering most of those episodes would be about 40–45 minutes, and a decent chunk are half that length. How can it be more than 675 hours. Unless I’m missing something, either the OP is a severe understatement, or the CBR article is a severe overestimate.
and that’s not counting the films, nor the 20-50x you’d have to rewatch it all to have the near-encyclopedic knowledge of all of it we all here do, nor the decades that would take…
let alone doing all of that while not going completely insane…. mwahahahaha!
Sometimes I think that’s why people claim they don’t like the new shows. They just can’t put in the time it takes to get the same level of engagement wit it.
I also think that’s the best part of a lot of the new shows. You can watch them on a casual level, but when we do bring a near encyclopedic knowledge of it all, well, we’re watching kind of a different show. Like in Picard when he’s holding that flute and it’s like ‘well shit, I guess I know where this is going’. Like, not to put too fine a point on it, but new fans are watching the show. We have a complete set of tamarian meme subtitles going the whole time ‘Picard, his flute in his hands’. I think that’s really cool.
I don’t like earlt Discovery because it feels wrong in ways that make me wonder if it wasn’t originally a non Star Trek project that got adapted and they killed the captainI liked (not that asshole). I haven’t cracked into Picard yet though.
On the flipside of that, there’s a lot about (some) of the new shows that doesn’t make me want to rewatch them dozens and dozens of times in their entirety over decades. And who knows, maybe I’ll feel differently about it later, and think about it differently in retrospect. 
I would love to see an old age home for Trek fans in 20, 30, 40 years from now … a bunch of old trekkies, geeks and nerds all hobbling around or in wheelchairs talking to each other about all the shows, aliens, ships, worlds and characters they all watched for decades … and all the care workers left wondering if their patients are out of their minds or the nurses just don’t know enough about the shows that are being talked about … and that one patient who has decided he’s a Gorn and keeps wanting to pick up big objects to throw at people.
