As you may already know, Telegram channel managers with a large number of members can generate significant income from their channels. This potential for profit drives many people to focus on growing their channels and increasing their member count to attract advertising opportunities.
To achieve this growth quickly, some resort to various methods, including spending considerable amounts of money to buy fake Telegram members.
But can you truly build a channel with quality content and a loyal audience using this method?
In this article, we’ll explore the mindset of those who believe that simply increasing their Telegram channel members at any cost will lead to significant profits.
Discover the Truth About Fake Telegram Members
The issue resurfaced when Telegram once again allowed registrations using American virtual numbers. Before this, when virtual number registrations were restricted, the problem of fake Telegram members had largely disappeared.
However, recently, many have taken advantage of this loophole, creating virtual numbers and increasing their channel’s member count artificially.
This method is straightforward—you can either do it yourself if you have the time or pay someone else to handle it. In both scenarios, the process of acquiring fake Telegram members is quick. In the following sections, I’ll provide more details on how to obtain fake members and what it entails.
How Telegram Channels Acquire Fake Members?
Acquiring fake Telegram members can be done easily and at no cost, although it may require some time and effort. As previously mentioned, this method involves using virtual numbers.
Here’s how people typically go about it:
First, they install an Android emulator like NOX on their computer. Next, they download one of the many membership apps available on the Google Play Store and run it on the emulator.
Then, they use websites and apps that provide virtual numbers to obtain one. This virtual number is used to sign up for one of the Telegram member programs.
Once inside these programs, users start subscribing to the channels suggested by the platform. Each subscription earns them points. After accumulating enough points, they can submit their channel’s address to the program, which will then add fake members to their channel.
Is Having Fake Telegram Members Beneficial?
In reality, fake members offer little value because, as the name suggests, they aren’t real! These members are registered using virtual numbers and don’t actually exist. As a result, when you post content on a channel filled with fake members, those posts receive no real views. So, what’s the point of having fake members?
Having fake members can help your channel appear in Telegram search results. This might seem counterintuitive, but that’s how the algorithm works—I’ll explain more about this later. Additionally, some people use fake Telegram members to make their channel appear more legitimate and to justify purchasing views for their posts. For instance, if a channel has 10,000 members, it’s expected that at least 2,000 views would be typical.
Therefore, channels with entirely fake members often resort to buying fake views as well, just to make their membership count seem more authentic.
