The Desperado's Guide to Scoring that Elusive Blue Tick on Telegram: Because Let's Face It, You're Basically a Celebrity
Ah, the blue tick. That little badge of honor in the digital realm, separating the wheat from the chaff, the Kardashians from...well, the even more fabulous you (in your mind, at least). You crave it. You yearn for it. You might even refresh your Telegram profile picture a suspicious number of times a day, hoping it'll magically appear. Fear not, fellow social media warrior, for I am here to unveil the secrets of acquiring that coveted blue tick.
Step 1: Cultivate an Aura of Immense Importance (Air of Importance Sold Separately)
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.![]()
- Name Change is the Game: Ditch your childhood nickname "FluffyBunny123" and opt for something more distinguished. "His Excellency, [Your Name]" has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
- Biography Buffet: Craft a bio that screams legitimacy. List awards you may or may not have won (participation trophies totally count), positions of power you may or may not hold (Supreme Ruler of Your Couch Potato Empire is a valid option), and any vague association with vaguely famous people ("Met Kendall Jenner at a gas station once").
Step 2: Build Your Telegram Empire (Even if it's Made of Sandcastles)
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.![]()
- Channel Channeling: Create a channel. Name it something profound ("Musings of a Modern-Day Philosopher") and post...well, post anything. Cat videos? Sure! existential dread disguised as poetry? Absolutely! Just keep the content flowing, even if it's just you arguing with your autocorrect.
- Group Guru: Round up your most enthusiastic contacts and form a group. Name it something exclusive ("The Illuminati, But Way Less Scary") and then proceed to share those cat videos you stockpiled in Step 2a.
Step 3: The Verification Tango (The Steps Might Get Messy)
Tip: Look out for transitions like ‘however’ or ‘but’.![]()
- Befriend the Verification Bot: There's a rumor of a verification bot out there somewhere. Legend has it, it can grant you the blue tick of your dreams. The only problem? Finding it. Your best bet? Infiltrate every secret Telegram channel you can and ask around. Who knows, you might even stumble upon a secret society of blue tick hopefuls along the way.
Important Note: There's also a chance this bot might be a myth, but hey, where's the fun in giving up easily?
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.![]()
Step 4: Patience is a Virtue (Unless You Have a Million Followers, Then You Can Skip This Step)
- The Waiting Game: Once you've completed these herculean tasks (or at least pretended to), settle in for the wait. The verification process is shrouded in mystery, like how exactly did Kim Kardashian manage to avoid getting roasted for that one selfie? It might take weeks, months, or until sentient AI robots take over the world. Who knows?
Bonus Tip: Subtly (or not so subtly) drop hints about your Telegram channel/group in every other social media bio you have. Let the world know you're a big deal on this up-and-coming platform called...uh...Telegram?
Remember: Even if the blue tick never arrives, you'll still have the satisfaction of knowing you put in the cough herculean effort. And hey, maybe one day you'll be famous enough to warrant verification without even trying. Until then, keep calm and channel your inner social media mogul!
