it doesn't really represent a good project or a yardstick to measure the success of a project, believe me, I've seen some active telegram groups paying their users to shill in the group to stay active and make it appear as though the project has Something going on. beware of this kind of project telegram groups.
things that are very possible and understandable because in that way he can see that the number of participants in the telegram can determine how many are involved in the project, even though not all of them are active in asking questions related to the project, sometimes the person is just that.
There are many ways you can do, of course, to always look for loopholes to manipulate people into being interested, but I agree not to believe in telegram groups because it doesn't guarantee that.
the good thing is to return the interaction to the past, of course it will be more effective.
