Telegram's getting ads

Disagree. I like musical instruments. I don’t mind ads for guitar companies. I like embedded systems. I love seeing ads for new esp32 variants or low cost e-ink screens. Also I never object to women’s swimsuit ads. Just sayin’.

Still, ads will distract you in moments that you don't want to be distracted.

If you like guitars, you can visit a good, large online guitar store, say once a week, and you will always be up to date. Same for swimsuits.

The service must be sustained somehow. Either through ads or fees.

I don't understand why people act like they can avoid ads, and enjoy a free service.

Hopefully there is a paid option that hides ads. Would you pay for it?

Thanks for telling me how my attention span works. Your insights are lacking but at least you make up for it by being condescending.
