Telegram
Telegram channels by the platform's documents: launch, numbers, similar channels, giveaways and money.
Stars in a Telegram channel: the owner switches the reaction on and gets 100%
The Star reaction appears only once paid reactions are enabled in the channel settings. The owner gets 100% of the stars and converts them into Toncoin or ads.
Monetizing a Telegram channel: 50% of ad revenue from 1,000 subscribers
Only the platform’s ads pay: half the revenue to public channels from 1,000 subscribers, in Toncoin, no fees. Users in Russia and elsewhere don’t see them.
Giveaways in a Telegram channel: the platform picks the winners
Telegram picks the winners, checks channel subscriptions and gives the channel 4 boosts for every Premium subscription given away. What the organizer sets.
The first 200 subscribers: what Telegram allows
The owner invites the first 200 people, then the channel is on its own. A new subscriber sees the whole history, and a link sent to strangers costs you access.
Public or private channel on Telegram: what each one loses
A private channel isn't found by search and isn't shown in lists of similar channels. And an invite link in open access, by the FAQ's own explicit caveat, makes it equal to a public one in content disputes.
How to run a telegram channel: what to publish and how to measure
A channel has no reach machinery: a post goes to subscribers and to nobody else. From that follow different content, different numbers and three settings that decide more than any content plan.
Comments in a Telegram channel: why there are none without a group
The comment button appears as a consequence of linking a discussion group — there is no separate setting for it in the platform's documents. Plus admin signatures, without which the reader doesn't know who wrote the post.
Views in Telegram: why there are more of them than subscribers
Telegram itself calls its views approximate: forwards count towards the total, and after about four days the platform forgets your view and counts you again.
Similar channels on Telegram: the only showcase there is
On Telegram the feed shows only what you're subscribed to. The one automatic showcase is similar channels, and they are selected by audience overlap, not by the channel description.
