Telegram accomodates over 200,000 users. I have my own community around Telegram; it has nothing to do with Crypto. Bots manage the rush; block words filter out conversations; spammers are blocked in their track, auto-delete or auto-removal of messages (if and when required).

Privacy controls on voice/video calling, restrictions on who can add me to groups and so on. Intelligent cache without looming storage limits on my device. Efficient application that doesn't drain battery. Cross platform client that even works in modern browser and remains in perfect sync.

I wonder why you are forgetting the virtues and only focused on the "shady aspects".
