Telegram and its users are exploring methods to monetize the network. Users have used third-party payment bots to sell paid individual posts on their channels. However, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov claims that the business was forced to disable sponsored posts on iOS owing to an Apple complaint.
Durov stated that it was “amazing” that creators were earning virtually the whole amount that their followers or subscribers paid for one of their postings. “Unfortunately,” he added, “we received information from Apple that they were not pleased with content producers monetizing their work without paying a 30% tax to Apple.” “Because Apple has total control over its environment, we were forced to block such paid posts.”
