Engagement
20 posts held, back to 24 November 2025 — 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 18 May 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Measured directly from 20 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
2 reactions across 2 posts, in 1 kind.

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 2 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 2reactions 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 24 November 2025 to 18 May 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.

🤔 He miscalculated, but where exactly? A teenager decided to run away from home wearing a chroma-key suit. He thought the green fabric would make him invisible. Well, it works on YouTube, right?
🌯 Robot shawarma masters have appeared in Berlin The machines cook perfect meat, automatically determining doneness and slicing it into thin pieces.
🤔 Elon Musk lied to us: the Tesla Optimus robot was handing out drinks to guests at a Tesla event. Suddenly it made an odd gesture and then lay down. Users say it looked like someone taking off a VR headset. Apparently the remote operator had an issue and had to yank off the headset. The twist is that Elon Musk claimed Optimus was running on pure AI.
🇨🇳 China. Stairway to Heaven Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie. A 999-step staircase climbs straight to the “Gateway to Heaven” cave, 1,300 m above sea level. Each step is a test of will and lungs—oxygen is noticeably thinner. At the top, clouds swirl beneath your feet, and the wind howls like a jet engine. Legend says whoever conquers all 999 steps gets a wish granted by the sky itself.

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @illutionofdeception. 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.
