Here's the message by Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram:
"😝 Next month, channel owners on Telegram can start receiving financial rewards from their work.
Broadcast channels on Telegram generate 1 trillion views monthly. Currently, only 10% of these views are monetized with Telegram Ads — a promotion tool designed with privacy in mind.
In March, the Telegram Ad Platform will officially open to all advertisers in nearly a hundred new countries. Channel owners in these countries will start receiving 50% of any revenue…
Telegram banned literally seconds after I registered, even before I could finish setting up my profile. Not once but twice weth two different numbers. Without any kinds of explanations as to why. I’ve contacted support multiple times but literally zero replies. People literally do drug businesses there, host pirated stuff and CSAM, that’s somehow ok and me just registering is where they draw the line?
Can’t say that about Signal. So as far as I’m concerned, yeah Signal is way better.
