> That doesn't seem to be Durovs goal.

completely disagree, he is definitely focused on making telegram some huge IT project that would put him on the same level as great IT entrepreneurs of our time. The whole TON project was all about making tons of money from becoming the main beneficiary from first decentralized consumer economy. It's a mystery how he is going to achieve anything similar now, but that goal was so ambitious, it's unlikely he will settle for something as small as this

let's use 2017 as a reference https://www.statista.com/statistics/268604/annual-revenue-of... https://www.statista.com/statistics/264810/number-of-monthly...

so it had an annual revenue of $20 per user, and your assumption is a mere $10 max(likely lower), that's extremely low for someone like Durov
