Please just let me pay for Telegram. And let me implement my own payment provider for bots because the Telegram ones suck.

  I'm an early adopter for telegram, and I'm right there with you. I signed up in 2014, basically the first or second time it hit HN, and over time, I've built out a pretty decent social network on there, and run a dozen or so specialty community chats. I'd be glad to pay them something, 25 a year or so, even if I don't get anything special from it (though, if I did want something, it'd be better access to support if I should need it), just as part of making the service sustainable.
