It really pains me, as I always got so much positive energy out of watching this crazy, quirky, show that allowed me to escape the often frustrating world around me. But the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) has ignored what we, the fans, want Eurovision to be. There would be no joy for me watching it this year.</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/10e7823c-9f2f-41f1-83fa-25fa3684dde2/after-50-years-of-watching-esc-eurovision-this-year-will-be-the-year-where-i-will-not-join-the-wonderful-family-of-esc-fans-all-over-the-world.</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 15 May 2026 02:04:50 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://board.circlewithadot.net/topic/10e7823c-9f2f-41f1-83fa-25fa3684dde2.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 09:16:55 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to After 50 years of watching #ESC #Eurovision, this year will be the year where I will NOT join the wonderful family of ESC fans all over the world. on Thu, 14 May 2026 10:30:28 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/jwildeboer%40social.wildeboer.net">@<span>jwildeboer</span></a></span> not wanting to be a turndown guy here but I've stopped watching that nonsense long before it expanded to non-european nations</p><p>that is now a corporate event no one really wants to watch anymore, which is kinda sad</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/luisfcorreia/statuses/116572463328938851</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://mastodon.social/users/luisfcorreia/statuses/116572463328938851</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[luisfcorreia@mastodon.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 10:30:28 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to After 50 years of watching #ESC #Eurovision, this year will be the year where I will NOT join the wonderful family of ESC fans all over the world. on Thu, 14 May 2026 10:10:25 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/jwildeboer%40social.wildeboer.net">@<span>jwildeboer</span></a></span> what are you referring to?</p>]]></description><link>https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://norden.social/users/afuerstenau/statuses/116572384462781824</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://board.circlewithadot.net/post/https://norden.social/users/afuerstenau/statuses/116572384462781824</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[afuerstenau@norden.social]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 14 May 2026 10:10:25 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to After 50 years of watching #ESC #Eurovision, this year will be the year where I will NOT join the wonderful family of ESC fans all over the world. on Thu, 14 May 2026 09:34:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/jwildeboer%40social.wildeboer.net">@<span>jwildeboer</span></a></span> I am with you  mate.
