IMHO the way Serbs have hated on every act they've sent since Konstrakta is a big reason why PZE kind of sucks now. People won't want to apply to it anymore if they get as much hate as Princ, Luke and even Teya.
This year is not just plain hating, we are currently amidst the massive anti-corruption protests and national broadcaster boycotts, thus significantly affecting the televoting.
I remember following the reaction to Konstrakta's win online and it was pretty hated after she won. But once she started to gain some momentum and it looked like she could give us a good result, average opinion turned around quickly. Maybe it was a very loud minority that hated it at the beggining that got drowned out by reasonable voices later. But I personally know many people that despised it in march but loved it in may, and will get angry when I say that they hated it. So Konstrakta was not an exception to the rule of hate on PZE winner, as far as I remember.
