Started at 15 — no capital, no connections, one community. In four years that grew into an ecosystem of Telegram and VK channels: 2.5 million users by 19, and today more than 4 million subscribers with up to 8.5 million views a day.
The flagship is 4ch, a channel that went from zero to a multi-million audience in a few months and has ranked among Telegram's top communities since late 2023. Another example: Zazhigalka, from 264K to 366K subscribers in three weeks. The key was never budget — it was understanding the audience: viral content, warm-up, a dramatic hook with request-only access, then scale.
AI came into the work early. The first project at 17 automated view counting and link aggregation and saved up to seven hours a day. Then came a custom-trained editorial model for ad copy, idea generation for Reels and TikTok, a proprietary AI app with virtual characters, and a mini social network inside Telegram. One rule never changes: between AI and publication there is always a human editor.
Today I combine both crafts: helping brands and founders build their own media in Telegram and deploying AI bots and agents where they actually pay off.
