Its more the general sense and feeling the fanbase got from the showrunners that started around season 5. Also the behind the scenes of every episode really pissed everyone off at the time cause they were so outrageous, you really are missing a lot of the fan hatred towards the showrunners by just binging it now.

Dan and Dave at this time checked out. But they also didnt want to pass the show over to new showrunners by Season 5 either due to their ego, so we got this halfassed attempt at an ending.

Around Seasson 4/5 they started complaining that the show was too much, showrunning a show like GOT that filmed around the world, took basically 9 months of grueling work and they could never see their family. An understandable grievance. But as I said instead of giving the show to new showrunners like Miguel Sapochnick, they kept it themselves and told HBO no more then 7 seasons(Even though HBO wanted 10, and GRRM thought the show needed 10-12 to be told properly).

D and D checked out, only negotiated a split season 7 to two, thus a 7 episode season 7, and a 6 episode season 8. We also heard rumblings they wanted to make a Star Wars movie, so this showed further evidence they wanted to leave westeros half finished instead of making a 10 season show.

It led to them basically deleting an entire plotline from the books that needed to be there to tell the show properly( Aegon Targaryen) and instead merged Jon Snow with this character instead, this plotline would have needed 10 seasons). Which leaves Cersei on the throne and basically makes it dumb for Dany to act the way she did. Cersei isnt beloved by the people she literally destroyed their religion and high Septon. Dany should be praised all across Westeros for removing this tyrant, yet they made dany hated. Only makes sense if Aegon is on the throne, not Cersei.
