Does Telegram have anything that torrents and usenet don't?
It indeed empowers common people by distributing full seasons of series all in one place in a somewhat user friendly way without "10 chicks in 10mt" popups.
A bunch of my friends, who don't even know how to install an adblocker, have a very rich catalog of things there.
Also, it is more difficult for a telegram channel to be banned than a website.
Lots and lots of sticker packs.
Sticker packs are a gateway drug to, well, drugs. Which you can buy on telegram too of course.
:)
I make my own thank you very much. Sticker packs are a right of passage to navigation on Telegram. We also have the gif game.
I think we've lasted 20mins of replying in gifs to each other, in context. Is a very hard "game".
It's normie-accessible
Probably not, but Telegram is very easy to use.
So are Signal, Element, Revolt and many other apps. What's to special about Telegram?
It has it all and 900 million users.
Actually, yes, there are a few groups with unique niche content that isn't available anywhere else.
