Imo, it is a kind of trade-off between speech of freedom and easy automation/integration and all this spam. I’m ok with it, just a couple of marks in settings (like only my contacts can send me messages). If one wants to have a spam-free space, they can go to Facebook Messages or something like this. I can not imagine how Telegram can fight all this spam without hiring a lot of moderators like Facebook. Even to hire moderators, Telegram needs to change the business model and start selling user data for advertising.
I’m ok with the folks really in to Telegram managing these risks for themselves. They tend to be bootstrap pullers-upper-by so they shoule be just fine
Hell, when you get hung in a rut, better lock them hubs in, kick it in 4 wheel son
Telegram Is a ‘Scammer’s Paradise’ Thanks to Cheap Phishing Tools
