Telegram Preparing a Subscription Service
Telegram is one of the most popular messaging applications today, and Telegram Premium may be the business model that they have been working on for so long, but it has never come to fruition. Or, at the at least, a portion of it, given that Telegram has been completely free from its inception nearly a decade ago and continues to be so now.
The assumption of Telegram Premium does not come from anywhere, but rather from the results of reverse engineering specialist Alessandro Paluzzi, as revealed on his Twitter account and collected by media such as Neowin. According to this knowledge, Telegram Premium would be a fledgling endeavor with some disconnected ideas.
Thus, some of the extras that a future Telegram Premium subscription would provide would include exclusive reactions and stickers, as well as a form of identification that would identify premium users from the rest. Nothing that appears to be worth a dime in compensation, at first glance, but weirder things have happened.
In any event, this unsubstantiated glimpse of what Telegram Premium may or may not be is just that, a glimpse that most certainly misses a significant portion of the padding that comes with being a reality. Even if it is accurate, it does not have to come to completion because it is merely internal company testing.
However, it should be noted that, aside from this Telegram Premium, Telegram has already recommended the introduction of advertising as a method of generating cash, though nothing has been implemented in a significant way, as that news seemed to indicate, it is not ruled out that it will do so soon.
In fact, if it occurs, it is probable that we will find out and notify you as quickly as possible, because the MC channel on Telegram, which you can follow everything we publish and which we invite you to join if you haven't already, is public and open to everyone.
The only thing that is evident is that Telegram requires a source of revenue because the money donated by its founder, Pavel Durov, is limited and the costs of Telegram's infrastructure must be frightening. The platform's "unlimited storage capacity" is not endless, or it will not be indefinitely, and someone will have to pay for it.
The question is how they will accomplish it and whether, if necessary, Premium Telegram will have actual additional value rather than, as they assert in the article referenced with almost hilarious irony in connection to what it has revealed, "it concentrates on meeting the interests of consumers."
