Some answers and clarification on ads from Pavel Durov [1](Google Translate): “Many users have suggested introducing the ability to disable official advertisements on Telegram channels. Today we are announcing two more changes: 1. Users will be able to disable official advertisements. We have already started work on this new feature and look forward to launching it this month. It can be issued in the form of an inexpensive subscription, which will allow any user to directly financially support the development of Telegram and never see official advertisements in the channels. 2. Channel authors will be able to turn off official advertisements in their channels for all users. Some channel creators would also like to "turn off" advertisements in their channels for all users. At the moment, we are calculating the economic conditions for this option. Advertisers will soon be able to place an "invisible" ad on any channel that - assuming there is sufficient cost per impression - will result in no ads on that channel. Let me remind you that Telegram as a messenger will always be free of ads: Telegram will not show promotional messages in your chat list, private conversations or groups. Advertising will affect only large channels - services where there is already advertising, and the support of which leads to the greatest costs on the part of Telegram. We will continue to work on features that will allow Telegram to break even. The interests of users and content authors will remain our priority in this process.” 1: https://t.me/durov_russia/36 https://t.me/durov_russia/36
