Why would you say so? Joining the Telegram channels is free, and creating an email alert at https://findmegigs.com/?remote=true#basic-plan is free as well If you're in financial trouble somehow or can't afford the paid plan on FindMeGigs that sends you all the jobs, DM on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/xoelipedes ) and I'll give you a free unlimited account for free.

I hate to pile on, but you're putting up a lot of barriers that are going to discourage casual viewers. I don't want to sign up for some app I won't use for anything else. I don't want to give out my email. I definitely don't want to pay for anything. Maybe I'm not your target market, but this is going to be a hard pass for many people.

I know people here like to hate Telegram but it is extremely common in certain areas and groups.

Why not WhatsApp or Signal then?

None of them has a working public API as far as I know.

I'm not sure you can get and stay rich long-term without adding value to the world, but thanks for the comment I agree with you that seems like there's a new remote jobs board every 2 days popping out. That's why I took a different approach with this, and it went from 0 unique subscribers 1 month ago to 1700+ today, over the 50+ different channels that I created within it. Hopefully they're getting something useful o…

Sorry if my comment sounded harsh, that wasn’t my intention! Good job finding a niche and running with it!

No problem, thanks for saying that!

The WhatsApp API is not as open as Telegram's, you have to apply and pay and so on AFAIK. IDK about signal but feels even more nichey than Telegram. I want to focus on doing one channel well than then expand to others

I think we agree and my wording was a but clumsy. Sorry for that.
