Telegram started the enshittification route already. Premium version, locked features and stickers, spam about their crypto crap, and now these useless stories

Be glad it's still there and found an okay way to pay for costs. Pavel might be rich, but tgram grew a bit big for a hobby/vision payment alone. And there's nothing behind the paywall anyone really needa, so it's fine for me. Better than selling my data and calling the app "free". He never said it would never happen. He just promised (back then) that it would always remain free to use. Which it is.

The stories are annoying, yes. But people are using this shit. I don't understand why, but I don't get social media in general.

Premium costs a bit too much for me. I'd purchase it but not at that price.
