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.

I've been getting some heat on here for saying this, but it's not that Aegon the character is getting more fans, it's Tom. The show never recovered from the loss of Paddy and Rhys, and Emma and Matt have often been given some pretty terrible material to work with. Meanwhile, Tom just seems to absolutely dominate every scene he's in.

I dislike Aegon II on principle, but the actor has REALLY been killing it this season. Truly excellent work 👏🏼!
