If you want to subscribe to CBS just for Trek, then, maybe.. don't?
I hate to say it, but The Orville is much better. I thought the first episode was weak but I enjoy it much more than Trek and find myself looking forward to each episode. The season finale was freaking excellent.

I believe it's free for us too using the CBS website but... I see where this is going and I don't like it.
I pay for cable tv, Netflix, and Hulu. I also have Amazon Prime. Now CBS wants me to pay $10 a month for.... a tv show? Oh hell no. I'm not paying $120 a year just so I can watch Star Trek. Then ABC will do it, NBC, etc, and suddenly we'll be paying for cable TV, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and then other channels... Plus music. This business model will not work. People will not be paying $10 a month to watch one channel. I understand CBS wants people to pay them directly, but it's just not going to work. CBS doesn't have enough content I want to see to motivate me to pay $10 a month for it.
I'll just wait until the entire series has run it's course, buy it on DVD used on Ebay or Amazon, and then binge watch it all at once.
