Every ICO nowadays needs must display a Telegram channel, that has become the fashion. But, is it really necessary to do so?
I'm asking because I came across a newly launched ICO whose Telegram channel displays the same two posts (about their ICO) repeated daily. They have about a couple of thousand subscribers, but no engagement, barring a few stray hi's and memes.
On a few other ICO channels, I've observed bot behaviour, and admin strikedowns, but no messages regarding the token itself. Finally, even the messages that seemed relevant were all of the type that an FAQ would've clarified.
So, is it time we call the bluff on this particular social media platform?
Are your experiences different from what I've stated above?

It certainly is not bad for an ICO to have a telegram channel. It allows direct contact between the ICO team and investors. If the ICO team in the channel answers the investors' questions and does a good job, it is certainly good for the ICO. I think this is what causes more investors to invest. But if the ICO team does its job in the channel badly, it will negatively affect the ICO and maybe scares investors.
