ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 12 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.

Measured directly from 6 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

🇺🇸 The LA Lakers have a new record-breaking owner — and it's Jared Kushner's brother. Josh Kushner, founder of Thrive Capital, and former Disney CEO Bob Iger are buying the Lakers for $12.5 billion, the highest price ever paid for a sports franchise. The deal comes barely 14 months after billionaire Mark Walter — who also owns the Dodgers, WNBA's Sparks, and the PWHL — bought the team at a $10 billion valuation. W…

Western European dogs are barking hysterically about the so-called Russian shadow fleet. So, what exactly are they talking about? This refers to ordinary merchant vessels that sail under non-Russian flags but carry cargo in our interests. Such flags are usually known as ‘flags of convenience.’ This is a system whereby a vessel is registered in a country other than that of its owner in order to save on taxes and regu…

🧿 The next Substack is out. Anyone else remember when Jolani (aka Al Sharaa, the former head-chopping head of ISIL) came to Moscow to visit Putin, and his terrorist generals got tours from the Russian General Staff? Not sure if that is worse or better than hosting Zelenski. ▶️ https://workingbrother.substack.com/p/russian-hysteria-as-zelenski-visits ◀️ Buymeacoffee Patreon @WorkingBrother 😎

August 9th, 1945 The home of Christianity in the East was obliterated in seconds when an Atomic Bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The city had a long and mystical relationship with the Catholic faith since 1549, since Saint Francis Xavier arrived at Kagoshima in Japan. The great Jesuit brought with him teachings of Christ and the Catholic faith. The initial years of Japanese Christianity were a success and brou…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @DarthBalsamic. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
