Assessment summary

Official English-language channel of Telegram's founder: messenger updates, contests for developers, launch of the Gram wallet and statements on regulation. Posts gather about 4.85 million views with 10.1 million subscribers — ERR 47.9% versus the median 12.8% for similar channels in the catalog, and reactions (1.62% of views) are above their median 0.47%.

At the same time, the feed has not been updated for 25 days, frequency is 0.3 posts per day; ad placement is marked as disputed precisely because of the inactivity. High reach here coexists with a pause in publishing, so there are currently no fresh posts to assess engagement.

About the channel

Pavel Durov's channel @durov in English, running since 2014. It writes about Telegram: new features, contests for developers, the Gram and TON wallet, statements about blocks and regulation. Format: video, photo and text posts.

In the catalog, it is next to @adsgram_ai (652k subscribers, ERR 2.8%), @jggl_official (1.9 million, ERR 10.4%) and @cryptel999 (99k, ERR 1.3%). This channel is larger than each of them by subscribers, and the share of subscribers who see a post is higher: ERR 47.9%.

What it publishes:

  • Telegram updates: new features such as carousels and an editor with formulas and tables.
  • Contests and olympiads: announcements of competitions for developers with prize funds.
  • Gram and TON: launch of a non-custodial wallet and cryptocurrency news.
  • Position on regulation: statements about blocks and free speech.

Posts come out mostly during the day (65%) and on weekdays (70%). The channel almost never forwards others' content: the sample has one repost from "Telegram Designers". By subscriber count, it is one of the largest channels in the niche. It posts rarely — about 0.3 posts per day — but posts are long, with video and photos, and there was no advertising in the sample.

By subscribers, it ranks #1 of 102 channels in the Computer science niche of the catalog.

What to pay attention to

Channel verified by Telegram

The channel has an official Telegram verification badge. It does not affect the purity index.

What grade A means

Metrics look normal: no signals lowering the index were found, or they are weak.

Compared with similar channels

Compared with 76 Computer science catalog channels whose metrics look normal. There are too few channels of a similar size, so the whole niche is used: 10 to 4,359,353 subscribers.

ERR (reach) higher than 61 of 76
@durov 47.9%
similar channels median 12.8%
Reactions per 100 views higher than 63 of 73
@durov 1.62
similar channels median 0.47

This is not a niche norm: only catalog channels are included. A high ERR is not always a plus: if the other metrics do not support it, the index goes down.

Not enough posts for a forecast.

Questions about @durov

What metrics does the @durov channel have?

Purity index — 89/100, grade A, level “metrics within norm”. ERR 47.9%: with 10.1 million subscribers, median views are about 4.85 million.

Why is ad placement in the channel marked as disputed?

The reason is that the channel has not published posts for a long time: the last publication was 25 days ago, frequency is 0.3 posts per day. This is an assessment of feed activity, not of the content of the posts.

Are there deleted messages or closed comments in the channel?

Comments are closed. In the window of the latest 44 messages, about 7% of numbers are missing — some messages have been deleted. What exactly was in the deleted messages is not visible from the check data.

How the assessment was produced

Data source
Public Telegram data: posts, views, reactions, and channel metadata.
Date or snapshot
2026-11-05
Sample
The latest 40 public posts available at check time.
Calculation method
TG Inspector calculates metrics from the saved snapshot and combines independent signals into a deterministic 0–100 cleanliness index.
Factual result
The @durov assessment dated 2026-11-05 uses 40 recent public posts. At that snapshot the channel had 10,120,508 subscribers, median post views were 4,849,651, ERR was 47.9%, and the cleanliness index was 89/100.
Limitations
This is a probabilistic assessment based on public data: it describes metrics, not the owner's actions, and is not a real-time measurement.

Full methodology and interpretation rules

This automated assessment is probabilistic: it describes the channel's public metrics, not its owner's actions. The index and grade are calculated from public data and are not changed on request. Channel owners can request removal of the page — t.me/obsessed_with_ai.
