Why Telegram Chat Admins Choose Worse Bots And Stick With Them
A curious thing I noticed when I started actively promoting @FullystBot directly to Telegram chats (I DM the admins of chats I personally read):
Many of them already use a bot whose entire functionality is exactly one @FullystBot command: /spam. That bot simply lets users complain about messages and... that is all. Every message from that bot, however, comes with an ad attached.
Long story short:
I come with an offer: I have a bot that will help you fight spam and stay almost invisible in your chat. No ads from the bot. No spam. The free tier is enough for your needs. I will help you set it up.
What I get in return:
1. Complete silence
2. Questions, thanks for the answers and a thumbs-up, but they never actually start using @FullystBot
3. In one case, when the competitor’s bot broke, my offer was ignored and they tried to revive the broken competitor instead 😖
Looks like I really was wrong to think people are less conservative than they actually are.
