Just cause its easily duplicated doesn't mean others can compete. You can easily duplicate Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. But unless you are as big as Facebook, you will not be about to compete. Its called network effect.

- hansel_der 5y agohehe, yea! tg value proposition is based around a superior user experience, that's what competition is all about.
- oblio 5y agoTelegram was launched 8 years ago. By a Russian billionaire. Facebook/WhatsApp/Instagram have ~3 billion users and Telegram only has 500 million, after FB has been under constant attack for about 3 years and Telegram has received a ton of free advertising as a result. If you call that easy (after all, that what the comment you were replying to was asking), then everything in this life is easy. Heck, getting resurrected is probably "easy".
- ComodoHacker 5y agoI don't call it easy, I call it possible.
