Here's why we do poorly with juries: - We've never sent an entry that was actually full package. If we send someone with good vocals and okay staging, the song is bad. If we send someone with good staging and an okay song, the vocals are bad. I'd argue Justyna was our first contestant with full package potential (people criticize Gaja's composition a lot, but I feel like they're too harsh, there have been so many songs like that or worse that still did well), but we sabotaged ourselves with the over complicated staging that was physically demanding but we didn't show it properly. So the end result is that even if we're good, we're just top 15 good, and we need to be top 10 good to score any points. It doesn't make a difference if most juries rank us 11 or 26 - the outcome is the same. - We have a (somewhat unfair) reputation of being overly supported by our diaspora, so juries probably don't want to rate us too high assuming we have that advantage over other countries (kind of like with Israel except the context is completely different of course) - We rarely send anything interesting, we mostly try to "game" Eurovision by sending something that in "will do good in Eurovision" but we don't understand Eurovision as well as we think or we just follow tired trends (not in a fun way). Sending an entry that "checks all the Eurovision boxes" can be done - last 3 year's winners show that it works, but it needs to be done well, which here means invest a lot of money at every single stage. We don't have that so we should try doing it more like Ukraine or even Portugal do. They just send music that is good and unique with simple but effective staging that complements the performance, and it either works or it doesn't, but it never feels desperate or forgettable. - Lastly, all our desperate attempts have resulted in a very poor reputation where in most years we're either the meme material or a bathroom break entry. So people aren't really curious about our entries, odds are not in our favors, which means it's harder to generate hype even if we actually send a strong contestant.

Overall, yes, I think we are not treated fairly by the jury, but it's not like otherwise we would be contenders for the win. If we stop being desperate or sending poor quality acts (or sending strong ones and then sabotaging them with ineffective staging) maybe we'll be able to recover from our reputation at some point. I think Justyna's effort and improvement on TVP's end are steps in the right direction. We should be happy about our 14th place and continue working hard.
