19 posts held, back to 26 April 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 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 15 May 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 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.
125 reactions across 18 posts, in 9 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 33.6% of them.

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 18 of the 19 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 125reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 19 most recent posts we hold, published 26 April 2026 to 15 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.
A paid reaction is a reader spending Telegram Stars — bought with money — on a post by @ycguy. Telegram publishes the count on the public post preview alongside ordinary reactions, and this register reads it there. It is the only figure on this site that measures money moving rather than attention.
Stars are not reactions, and the two are never added. They are rendered in the same strip on Telegram and counted in the same shape, but one is a tap and the other is a purchase. The reaction totals and the engagement rate elsewhere on this page exclude every figure in this section, and no rate here is computed against a reaction count.
This is not revenue, and we publish no currency figure. What a Star costs a reader and what it pays a channel are different numbers, Telegram takes a share we cannot observe, and the terms have changed. Converting a Star count into money would be an estimate dressed as a measurement, so the count is where we stop.
Counted over the 19 most recent posts we hold for this entry, published 26 April 2026 to 15 May 2026. Star counts above 1,000 reach us in Telegram’s short form and carry the same three-significant-figure rounding as everything else on this page.
I used to study a lot, and thought I was smart. I was wrong. Two definitions changed my life: 1) Learning = same condition, different behavior. 2) Intelligence = speed of behavior change. So if ya wanna be smart, ya gotta learn. If u wanna learn, u gotta change. (c) Alex Hormozi

My life was changed by four sentences in four books Last week someone asked why I prefer books. My immediate answer was that I love their quiet, non-commercial nature. No ads. No hype. Just quiet wisdom with deep rewards for a focused mind. But today I realized something more profound: Each of my biggest life-changing moments came from a single sentence deep inside a book. #1 : Island by Aldous Huxley This is a …

What taste actually is Bourdieu called taste cultural capital: the internalized standards that let you recognize quality, make judgment calls, know which rules to break and when. Taste is knowing when the violation serves the work better than the rule does. It's shaped by exposure, education, and social context. It's both personal and collective. And it's generative, it doesn't just reflect a worldview, it creates o…

Я уверен — если передо мной появится сам господь бог, я спрошу у него что-то вроде: «В чем смысл жизни?», а он ответит: «Выращивай рис». А потом мы будем неловко молчать. Есть такая концепция, я называю ее «спираль развития» — находясь на разном уровне спирали, ты не можешь увидеть картину целиком и понять, что действительно важно. Когда начинающие предприниматели присылают мне вопросы, типа: «Как зарегистрировать …

О фаундерах А теперь на ту же тему — про инвестиции — но уже из личного опыта. Чем больше я занимаюсь инвестициями, тем боле прихожу к простой идее: почти ничего, кроме фаундера, не имеет значения. Идея, рынок, команда и технология — глубоко вторичны. Самые плохие инвестиции — это инвестиции в "классную идею" на "модном рынке". При этом, лучшие фаундеры работают почти исключительно над самыми интересными идеями на …

Автор пишет: In college I took a class on what it means to be human. We spent weeks eliminating the obvious answers: intelligence, tool use, language. Now AI is working on all three. Не знаю, очевидно ли вам, как и автору, почему intelligence, tool use и language не делают человека человеком, но мне было не очевидно. Вот что claude пишет про все три: сначала мой TL;DR Интеллект — вороны, осьминоги и шимпанзе прох…

Организация — не имеет ни таланта, ни инфраструктуры данных, ни желания перестраивать процессы. Все в этой цепочке действуют рационально в рамках своих стимулов. Результат — рынок, где продавать AI радикально проще, чем получать от него эффект. YC, кстати, это уже поняли. В их последних requests for startups фокус сместился: им интересны компании, которые не продают инструмент, а продают результат. Не "вот вам AI-пл…

Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @ycguy. 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.
Stars beside a post are paid reactions — Telegram Stars, bought with money and spent on that post. They are a different unit from reactions and are never added to them, here or anywhere else on this page.
Citation-graph rank — 1,026,689 of 1,151,006entries 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.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
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.
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.
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 8 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
