Stop Doing Telegram Channels

Description

A pale blue "STOP DOING" rant meme is headed "STOP DOING TELEGRAM CHANNELS" in large black text. Bullet points say people were not supposed to spend hours reposting memes, mock "years of making channels" for thousands of strangers reacting to posts with "no real-world use found", argue that online socializing already had "group chats", and say "Yes I love having to take care of a utterly useless niche page that is killing me inside" is a statement said by no mentally stable person. The lower section tells viewers to look at what "happy Telegram admins" have been demanding respect for, with "posts & lore" and three tiny image thumbnails labeled with red question marks, ending: "Mom, when I grow up I wanna be a internet micro celebrity that will disappear after 4 years" and "They have played us for absolute fools". The technical relevance is social-platform dynamics: broadcast channels, admin labor, meme distribution, engagement loops, and the burnout created by maintaining niche internet communities.

    Real question tho, do you guys profit from this channel/group at all? Like idk if telegram has some monetization program or something

    1. @RiedleroD 2y

      no

    3. @RiedleroD 2y

      sometimes there's crosspromotion, but the admin never puts ads for money

        I actually did just a few times! Do you remember that once I asked via poll if followers are ok with ads being posted? 😂

        1. @RiedleroD 2y

          hmm yeah but iirc they said no

    4. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

      I asked this because I know telegram has ads in channels even tho I only ever saw one and that was a telegram premium ad anyway

      1. @sylfn 2y

        1. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

          So then the only ad in TG that will ever show up is for their own premium subscription?💀

          1. @sylfn 2y

            no it will show nothing

            1. @ZgGPuo8dZef58K6hxxGVj3Z2 2y

              But I have seen one

    5. dev_meme 2y

      Lol no I sold maybe like 3 or so ads in the channel and had to buy more than 50 so there are more follow (didn’t counted tho)

  8. @pfcowboy 2y
