I think it's about as simple as that, it was around the time that the main entry was just starting to be one that has an all but permanent spot on the trending bar, and I got curious. So I read the entry, and didn't think much of it, but when I got to the image section (and this was back in the day when it was ALL image macros, virtually zero fanart, just funny shit) I could not stop clicking through. I went through all hundred or so pages of images, and considered myself entertained for the day.
But eventually, I decided to watch it, just to see A, why it was such a big thing on KYM, and B, to understand the image macros. I facepalmed immediately at the start of the first episode, but decided to humor it, and by the time I had reached Applebuck Season, I was hooked.
But what I think really got me into the community was Yaridovich's Synchtube channel. That place had everything, episodes, parodies, YTPs, and sometimes we just went off and watched random funny shit because yes, we did get bored of pony every now and again. But I think it was that channel that really made me a brony.

The one of my IRL friends put a picture of Applejack on his profile picture, and I was like "Dude, wut?" and he was like "MY LITTLE PONYYYY!!! IZ GUUD SHOW U SHUD WATCH IT!" and I was like "Meh, I dunno if I want to or not."
Then about a month later, I watched the first two episodes. I was disappointed. Generic, cliche, unfunny, dull, uninteresting. The first two episodes tried to be a good introduction to the characters, and while it did characterize them pretty damn well, it seems that was all they focused on, and the rest of the two episodes were just bland and boring. But I kept watching. Not out of curiosity, not out of boredom, but because the characters. The characters were so well characterized that it was really the only reason I kept watching them, and as the episodes went on, I started to enjoy them more and more. Then we get to "Over a barrel". The second Braeburn came on the screen, I was 100% brony. That was the moment I decided "Enough being in between, I'm a fucking brony now."
Buuuuutttt I started to lose interest in the fandom pretty quickly, but I still wanted to be a part of it for some reason, because it was a great fandom (was.... It kinda got invaded with extremists as of late).
Then we get to the music. I always avoided the music, because I thought it would just be music that wouldn't really be my taste(I thought it was going to be all girly n stuff for some reason >_>) but I gave Simgretina's 20% cooler at the gala remix a shot. Hooked. Could not stop listening to the music, and ever since then, been a brony all the way. But I'm still a little disappointed with some of the fandom, like the brony extremists, the ponyfags, cloppers, etc. But as long as they aren't spamming their shit everywhere(although that's all the extremists do... Along with forcing the show down people's throats), I'm fine with them.

Basically someone who cannot stand the fact that people have opinions that may not be positive towards MLP and literally force people into liking the show, they spam ponies every which way they go, etc.
I could go on and on, but I'll just leave you with this, as it is pretty accurate.

Most of the stuff on the ponyfag side apply to extremists, with the exception of a few (the r34 and stuff there doesn't always apply to extremists)
