20 posts held, back to 16 September 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 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
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 26 September 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 1 video 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.

61% TOOK INVESTMENT ADVICE FROM SOMEONE THEY FOLLOW ONLINE. Among U.S. investors aged 18–34, 61% say they have made an investment decision based on a recommendation from a social-media personality. Social media solved an old problem in finance: access. You no longer need a broker, a Bloomberg terminal or even much capital to enter the market. Financial advice now arrives between workout videos, memes and notificat…
THE MEDICINE THAT HAS TO KEEP BEING INVENTED Antibiotics have an unusual problem: what works changes the thing it works against. Treatment creates selection pressure. Susceptible bacteria disappear; resistant ones are more likely to survive and spread. 1 in 6 In 2023, roughly one in six bacterial infections covered by WHO surveillance was resistant to antibiotics. 4.7 million Deaths associated with bacterial antim…
THE NIGHT GOT BRIGHTER. TREES NOTICED. Streetlights transformed the human night. Trees noticed. Across hundreds of cities, researchers are finding that artificial light at night can delay the seasonal aging of leaves — effectively extending the urban growing season. In one recent field study, illuminated parts of tree crowns began changing colour 6–8 days later. To us, a streetlight means visibility. To a tree, …
THE AIR-CONDITIONING LOOP Here are three numbers that don’t usually appear together. 3× Global cooling demand could more than triple by 2050. +36% Across 25 countries, households with air conditioning use 36% more electricity on average. 7.2 billion tonnes Cooling-related emissions could reach 7.2 billion tonnes of CO₂e a year by 2050 under business as usual. Put them together: HEAT ↑ → COOLING ↑ → ELECTRICITY ↑ →…

A BATTERY ISN’T SUPPOSED TO BE EDIBLE. But researchers are now building batteries from materials designed to disappear inside the body. The tiny power sources are inspired partly by rice paper and are intended for medical devices that need electricity only temporarily. They have already been tested in pigs. Instead of performing another procedure to retrieve the battery when the device is no longer needed, its co…
THE OCEAN DIDN’T REMOVE THE HEAT. IT STORED IT. More than 90% of the excess heat accumulating in Earth’s climate system has gone into the ocean. That sounds almost reassuring. It isn’t. A 2012 study estimated that the upper 2,000 meters of the ocean gained about 24 × 10²² joules of heat between 1955 and 2010. The researchers offered a striking comparison: if that energy could somehow be transferred instantly into …
90% That’s the success rate Chinese robotics company Spirit AI says its humanoid robots can now achieve on simple tasks in structured environments. Dozens are already working on production lines. The home is another matter. A factory can be redesigned around a robot: predictable objects, repeated movements, controlled surroundings. A kitchen cannot. A shirt bends. A glass breaks. A child moves unexpectedly. Eve…
For forty years, American farms have been running an enormous experiment. The result is now becoming visible in the climate data. A new analysis published in Nature Climate Change found that genetically engineered varieties of corn, soybean and cotton increased average yields while also making harvests less variable from year to year. There was another effect. As warming pushed crop production northward, biotechn…
DISEASES HAVE GEOGRAPHY. Or at least they used to. Italy has recorded more than 650 West Nile virus infections this year — roughly half of Europe’s reported cases. The virus is not new. What is changing is the environment around it. Warmer temperatures allow mosquitoes to remain active for longer, extending transmission seasons that can now stretch deep into autumn. Researchers are also watching the spread of inv…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @readhubris. 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.
Named by 4 registered channels — 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.
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.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 26 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
