WHY BRAINROT IS BIGGER THAN A MEME TREND - MIKE WAIZMAN 1/2 What happens when internet memes, TikTok culture, and casino gaming collide? In a conversation with Mike Waizman, NGM Game CMO, we explored why “Brainrot” is more than just a viral trend, how changing online behaviors are reshaping player expectations, and why the future of iGaming may belong to studios that understand internet culture as well as they unde…

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 11 January 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 16 June 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 8 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. Below Telegram’s rounding threshold, so these counts are exact.

Measured directly from 7 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.
Reaction mix
8 reactions across 5 posts, in 4 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 50.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🥰 | 4 | 50.0% | |
| ❤ | 2 | 25.0% | |
| 💩 | 1 | 12.5% | |
| 💯 | 1 | 12.5% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 5 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 8reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 11 January 2026 to 16 June 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

2/2 🛫 2. You're projecting a huge opportunity, since there are almost no competitors in this niche yet. What scares you more: competitors copying the idea, or players getting bored with the meme itself before the market has time to mature? Mike: Competitors copying the idea doesn’t scare me that much. In fact, if competitors start copying it, that probably means we were right about the direction. The harder part is…

#эксперт #пиар ⚡️❔Как пиар сотрудников влияет на бренд? Отвечает Mike Waizman, CMO NGM Game 👇🏻 В iGaming люди верят людям, а не логотипам. ⚡️Когда сотрудники, особенно продакт, арт-дир, математики, C-level, выходят в публичное поле, рассказывают про процессы, показывают лицо и позицию, бренд получает доверие автоматически. Это убирает ощущение «очередного безымянного провайдера в списке 500+». Мы строим NGM GAME…

Today the industry takes a moment to recognize the women building it every day. But recognition shouldn’t live for a single day on the calendar. Across studios, platforms, and teams, women are building the products, leading the conversations, designing the experiences, and driving the future of iGaming forward. That deserves more than a moment. Together with 2J.com, 100HP Gaming, Pixmove Games, NGM Game, Formula Sp…

#эксперт #слоты ⚡️❔Работает ли в слотах ситуативность? Отвечает Mike Waizman, CMO NGM Game 👇🏻 Работает, но только если встроена в продукт еще на этапе концепции. ➡️Пытаться «прикрутить актуалочку» потом как пытаться сделать из хомяка пуму. Хомяк обидится, а пумы все равно не выйдет. Но если с самого начала закладывается повод — праздник, поп-культурный референс, движ вокруг мемов, тогда продукт может поймать волн…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @NGMGAME. 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.
Citation-graph rank
Citation-graph rank — 327,898 of 1,189,255entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.

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.
Mentions
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
