I saw a post which was crowing about how cool it was that for once, Europe got a show (Eurovision) which Americans couldn't easily watch. Like, now we understood what it was like to be them.

Um.

1) A majority of Americans still pretty much don't care, regardless. Some Europeans are going "woo hoo, we have something Americans don't understand and can't participate in!" And Americans usually respond with "okay, you guys have fun".
2) Uh...there are Europeans who think people in the US have always had quick and easily constant access to European television but we were *choosing* not to watch it? Being unable to access European tv was the norm up until internet streaming became really viable. Most regular US networks won't buy a foreign show, and if they do, they want it only in English and only if they were investors in the project or the show is a massive hit. Before streaming, you had to buy the full cable package to choose to see any foreign tv show not made in an English speaking country.

Until this decade, not being able to watch European tv was...the default, for Americans.
