Slack DOES have a good income source (buisness use)

Discord and telegram have premium but discord is way more used and have streaming features (really costly) and telegram premium is not that widespread and no one but power users need it

i feel like this is just a western perspective, telegram is very popular in some places and for good reason

I think he meant telegram premium, not the app. Its widespread for the wrong reasons, many people think its secure, its not, its one of the worst. It basically has no encryption at all.

Discord has 150 million MAU versus Telegram's 800 million MAU, according to Wikipedia. It's absolutely not way more used.

Telegram users are way less taxing on the infrastructure than a discord user

And the numbers seems to be more 200/700
