I like them (except SS). But, poor BO seem to have long lasting effects. Too long which I is why I wish for the best for all.
Look at Superman. We waited 19 years between Superman IV and Superman Returns, and then another 7 years to MOS.... to wait another 19 or 7 or 26 years to a reboot of JL or Superman is not in our favour, I think (Marvel and DC fans allike).
So alternately, I would rather they keep at it at try and improve. It is sure that they do listen. Clearly DC is trying a more Marvel type way of movie storytelling with their latest two WW and JL... so they do try and satisfy the roar. IMO I would rather they kept at Snyders ambitions, but I am a minority here...
So the way I see it is: We have to options:
1: to risk waiting for several of years - even decades, and who knows how this waiting will improve anything?
or
2: to keep at it and learn along the way
For example, I think "Thor 2" was really weak, and yet I am thrilled this did not stop them... as Thor 3 is great. Their version of the character has grown since his first outing, and I dare say they went for the crazy Ragnarrock story because the second one with a more classic storyline critically tanked... so keep at it, I say, and learn through the process.
Keep feeding us nerds and comics book fans :) Something is better than nothing.
You see what I mean?

I see what you mean. What I would like to see is them slow down and stop dumping tons of money into low quality films. I am not suggesting they stop entirely. Just refocus on key characters and drop the huge slate based on a poor foundation and forced interconnected universe. WW worked, continue. Batman solo film should work. See how Aquaman lands and perhaps based on that go with Flash and possibly a better written closer to the comic version of MOS2. Maybe try a low budget Harley Quinn film rather than a team movie that may cost mountains of money and then have to have huge box office to recover it. Start building a solid foundation of a few films over time to grow on rather than a large slate of bad films saturating the DC universe.

Amen to that :) And our interests is fueling the industry, even when projects underperfrom I believe. So hopefully and I think not unlikely, you will get what you wish for.
