Very interesting that the "televote fave" was their 14th most watched video, as opposed to a song that got in the top 10 twice, or numerous other top 10 songs.
My take:
1. Politically motivated televote isn't great either way
2. The genocide country organising the televote is so much worse than an organic one.
Here's the thing. Three years ago everyone was fine with an organised Televote, which won.
Now it happens to a country whose politics people don't believe in. Which is fine, but everyone's mad.
Both 22 & 25 Televotes were political. 2 sides of the same coin.

@taikurnamai I think the voting format helps them as well. Since you vote for countries not against, pro-israel people can concentrate votes on israel, while anti israel people's votes are split between multiple countries.
A country sending a very forgettable ballad and winning the televote for political reasons is bad for the contest. Let alone a country that shouldn't be competing in the first place.
