telegram is full of bots and spam.

before it was a better WhatsApp alternative. now either WhatsApp or Signal.

telegram is full of bots

It's been a core feature of Telegram since almost the beginning, and one of the main reasons I end up using Telegram, not sure why you'd think this is a drawback. The spam sucks though, not sure how they haven't got a handle on it yet.

If you don’t join spammy groups you won’t get spam

Fair, I am a part of a bunch of groups I no longer care about that the spam might originate from. Thanks :)

I use Telegram only for groups with people I know. I've got zero issues with boths.

Are you using public channels? (are those even a thing with Telegram?)

are those even a thing with Telegram?

It is the thing with Telegram

those bots are different to these ones, for these you have to start the interaction. bots is the most useful feature of telegram

They should start charging for it. Like not a lot, maybe just a coffee a month. That should keep the bots away.

They do. Literally every spambot I see on Telegram has a paid account.
