The fact that something is free to you does not mean no one is paying.
- techntoke 6y agoTelegram is also open source.
- goblin89 6y agoI don’t know if you are seeking to counter my point, but open source seems orthogonal to expenses associated with maintaining infrastructure, ongoing development, reviewing massive amounts of UGC and so on.
- techntoke 6y agoI was under the impression you were trying to indicate that just because Telegram is free, that it's users are paying one way or another. However, agreed that Telegram does end up paying for backend costs but the app could be modified to utilize a different backend.
