What were your reasons for becoming a Bronie?

Background Pony #979C
I was sick with a stomach bug in 2010 so, I just decided, “Why not watch TV while my stomach readjusts itself”. I was flipping channels and I came across the show and was like “Eh, TV Tropes gave this a mention and I like Lauren Faust’s previous works so, why the hell not?”
 
Let me just say, the animation was the very first thing that caught my attention, it was so fluid that I almost mistook it for hand-drawn when really it was Adobe Flash. I was also hooked due to the show’s world-building.
