Bugs and Suggestions

That would eliminate only the spam problem. For any other activity regarding illegal content, such as child porn, pornography, gore or promoting violence (or anything else that violates Telegram Terms of Service) the restrictions wouldn't really be a problem for malicious users. You would still be able to join (and create) private groups and do your stuff. Or also texting people that messaged your first.

The read-only thing is still complicated and not very user-friendly as I've said before.

And the problem with the user grow rate & disk space still remains a problem.

I would gladly pay, like 5€ for an account that do not require phone number to be created

Never allow this, Sirs. Already many crypto scams are on, through telegram. Please don't do such things any time in future.

Honestly, there are way too many ways to already circumvent all of this requirements. Big spam organisations will not give a shit if they have to pay .05 ¢ to get a number verification through VOIP verification.
Plus, I know families that share only one phone# per household because of poverty.
I believe that by implementing an alternaltive to the phone# requirement will make the platform more accessable

I don't agree with this, so I would suggest a lot and more spam with other people doing various accounts. If you don't want to have your number tracked, buy a number, register it in a person's name and then throw it away, it's more effective

This is actually cool. But Telegram will be a spammers field.

Don't add this, The biggest thing I fear is of scammers, unknown creepy bots exhausting this feature.

No. We already have a lot of SPAM users out there.

I do understand ur requirement of more privacy, but Telegram can't handle the spam accounts and dead accounts if no phone number is required, this feature can be okay when platform is small but not at this level. Even currently through different temp numbers VOIP numbers tonnes of spam accounts are created daily.

Instead I will like to have an invisible option on TG, which will neither inform anyone that have saved my number in their contact, that I have joined nor to people in my contacts, neither searchable through my number even for those people who r in my contacts, i.e. nobody can see that I am on TG.
And for the legality u can use other platform for more security or keep belief that ur data won't be handed over to any government agencies.

disagree with you. registration by phone numbers is ok for most people and must stay as it is. But some users like me need possible to use another account. We must have second, third and so phone numbers. For what ? We ready to pay for this feature. For example, first account reg with phone number, but next account reg by email for 5$ or somelike. Very little spammers ready to pay for it.
I guess that problems is not spammers, but something else, that not speaking.
