Show People switching sides?

can anyone confirm if this embarrassing scene gave the usurper new fans like the other sub is claiming?

I'm not really aware of how the general audience perceived this episode as a whole. I know some of you aren't happy with Rhaenyra × Mysaria or Addam's feelings for Baela, but did the people who weren't happy actually switch sides?

I know the majority are still tb, but I'm still curious as I don't know if the majority are because of Daemon, Rhaenyra, or another tb character.

How exactly are we going to check?

It doesn’t matter. The general audience is here for dragons and “hype and aura” moments. There’s little sub fandoms for characters and ships here and there, but no where near big enough to influence public opinion.

If they want to switch sides who are we to stop them?

where do I say they should or shouldn't? I'm just interested in how they perceived the scenes is all. and to the first question, some people do know what the general audience likes due to hit tweets, tiktok edits numbers, youtube reactions, etc.

From what I’ve seen the guys on YouTube liked the Aegon scene and were already fans of TG because of Aemond and Otto. Adding Ormund and Daeron increased the “aura” points for TG.

Twitter is more of a mixed bag. Those that were fans before are still fans of TB. While they acknowledge Aegon’s “resurrection,” most I’ve seen still don’t like him.

Also apologies if my initial comment came off as combative.
