    Telegram added stories not too long ago and I feel the same way about that. It’s UI pollution we don’t want, and that we didn’t ask for, and that serves no real purpose.

      Every time I get one of those from Telegram I always report it stating that nobody asked for it and that it’s utterly unnecessary for a messenger app.

        Telegram started the enshittification route already. Premium version, locked features and stickers, spam about their crypto crap, and now these useless stories

          Be glad it’s still there and found an okay way to pay for costs. Pavel might be rich, but tgram grew a bit big for a hobby/vision payment alone. And there’s nothing behind the paywall anyone really needa, so it’s fine for me. Better than selling my data and calling the app “free”. He never said it would never happen. He just promised (back then) that it would always remain free to use. Which it is.

          The stories are annoying, yes. But people are using this shit. I don’t understand why, but I don’t get social media in general.

      It’s funny to see that the only stories happening there are the ones from telegram itself. No one else in my contact list is using that since release.

        Some of my contacts did, but I hid them stories right away, so they don’t clutter the interface

      I just want themes. Any app regardless of whatever the fuck it is, banking, notes, video player, web browser… I want to customize it.
