Also Marvel has tried their own low-budget TV series, with the Agents of Shield and all its spinoffs. IMO the fact that those TV series are part of the main MCU is a huge negative. I don't want to have to watch that crap to keep up to date with the storylines. On top of that you have to keep coming with constant excuses for why the heavy hitters aren't helping out. We know that Captain Marvel has better things to do than stop Thanos from getting Infinity Stones, but why aren't the heavy hitters stepping in once during all these SHIELD conflicts.
Marvel also had the Inhumans, multiple Netflix shows, etc...They just weren't all that successful.

Regarding Marvel, of the lower-budget, small screen products they have put out (not including any Disney+ productions), you could skip them all and never feel like you missed anything. I've watched Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter. Apart from actually being quality shows on their own merit they aren't incorporated into the MCU in any significant way. It's fun to know more about Peggy Carter and the behind the scenes stuff at SHIELD, but they have zero impact on the cinematic universe they've created.
I've never watched any of the Marvel Netflix fare, but apart from a few callbacks to Daredevil in Spider-man: No Way Home and Hawkeye, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, etc. don't appear to be canon.
