Telegram Ad Platform

> Revenue sharing with channel owners

> Sponsored Messages are currently in test mode. Once they are fully launched and allow Telegram to cover its basic costs, we will start sharing ad revenue with the owners of public channels in which sponsored messages are displayed.

Interesting. If only Telegram used a federated model, and used a more battled-tested encryption tech...

TL;DR: will show ads in channels (one-to-many chats) with 1000+ subscribers. No paid opt-out for channel authors yet. Ads should be of Telegram channels or bots, no external links. Advertisers may target specific channels.
