Howdy! We will be offline tomorrow for server updates. No estimate on downtime, but it should not take too long.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 23 October 2024 — 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 page of 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 4 July 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
12 reactions across 4 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 75.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 9 | 75.0% | |
| ❤ | 2 | 16.7% | |
| 😢 | 1 | 8.33% |
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 4 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 12 reactions 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 23 October 2024 to 4 July 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.

Meowdy!! Due to issues with bot activity costing us resources, we have tightened up security on the site. Please know that if you use a script to gather information/ data on the site that we have potentially broken it. We will not be easing back on the restrictions. We DO offer API access for approved individuals.

And as has been seen on Twitter and bsky: The AB team would like to make a request for clients and artists to sunset the use of Twitter DMs as a means of communication. We have experienced it first-hand, missing multiple notifications for DMs as the platform has deteriorated and become much less artist-friendly in the past few years. Over time, we have seen one too many transactions for both artists and clients go…

Beware: Kai_River Commission from Dec 2023 delivered in Jan 2025 after periods of inactivity. Agreed revisions to the completed work were not completed by the artist, who has gone unresponsive. https://artistsbeware.info/beware/submissions/artist-bewares/kairiver/
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @artistsbeware. 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.
