Telegram's "Nearly 0%" Commission on Stars: Smoke and Mirrors? ๐Ÿคจ

Telegram is facing accusations of misleading users about its commission fees for its "Stars" tipping system. While the platform claims creators enjoy "nearly 0% commission," a closer look reveals a different story.

Here's the breakdown:

The Claim: Telegram boasts "nearly 0% commission" on Star purchases, even highlighting a 30% discount on ads to offset third-party payment fees.

The Reality:

* App Store/Play Store Purchases: While these platforms take a 30% cut, Telegram *also* charges an additional ~5% commission.
* Direct Purchases (APK, Web, Desktop): Telegram charges a hefty commission ranging from ~17% to a whopping 30%!

Developer Earnings Tell the Tale:

Telegram pays developers a fixed rate of $0.013 USD per Star. Crunching the numbers reveals a stark contrast between user spending and developer earnings, with Telegram pocketing the difference.

Example: Buying 100 Stars:

* App Stores: User pays $1.99, developer receives $1.30 (65% of user spending).
* Directly: User pays $1.69, developer receives $1.30 (a mere 80% of user spending).

The Bottom Line: Calling a 5-30% commission "nearly 0%" is misleading at best. This lack of transparency raises concerns about Telegram's monetization practices and fairness towards its creator community.

It seems that Telegram's reporting systems are having some technical problems.
Many users are unable to send messages in private to other users and in many cases also in groups.

From what we notice, it seems that almost all bots are having problems.
I think it is an advance on a TGDown.

Also botfather and other official bots are so slow.

In these two bots, the forwarding icon is forcibly shown which is usually shown only in channels and in a few other cases. Curious, isn't it?

In his official channel, Durov informs us that he has put up a huge poster of the banner of the latest update. Why doesn't he update us on Telegram downtimes or reproducible builds, since he loves talking about these topics so much?
