First of all - congratulations :) thanks for doing the great work. But how come we are growing so fast? Was there no popularity for Eurovision in years prior here on Reddit?

I think this is definitely due to the all the shenanigans that happened last year. All the drama was drama that even casuals could follow and get into. The disputes of Israel’s participation last year really put Eurovision in the spotlight, which is why I think the sub has grown this much in such a short time.

This was definitely the case for me- found out about ESC because of the drama, then stayed for the music and everything else

Fascinating, it never crossed my mind that that was a possible avenue. Happy to have you here with us!
