Default subs are doing this. It's one thing if a small sub does strange things, but if a massive sub that explicitly recommend by Reddit acts like this (for years now!), it sends a pretty clear message.

Given these features (and their desire to keep Telegram free), I view these as "donation bonuses", not features to pay for. Although Discord has a similar monetization strategy and people seem to not mind it, so maybe it's ju

It's not a large corp who's monetization strategy is selling or exploiting user data. In fact, it's founded by someone who was screwed over by government overreach. It's not perfect, obviously, but if I had the choice be

Telegram actually has full-featured APIs, allowing you to implement both bots and custom clients! You can start here: https://core.telegram.org/ . Unfortunately, I don't have the direct link to the single-curl-request.

Okay, maybe I explained it badly. You said that there's always a cushion. Which would still be true after you raise wages. So you can repeat and repeat and you'll end up with infinite wage for 1$ spent. This quite obviously does

I can tell you from harsh experience that having to enter your password after a few months and struggling to remember it is strictly the worse option. It might be a PITA, but it definitely makes sense to refresh the memory once in a while.

This is a common misunderstanding of computational complexity: It does not measure runtime, but how runtime changes depending on the input. Take the following two algorithms to find the square root of an int: result=None for i in 0..
