pyrouser
Also known as Mark, or by his supposedly real name Aleksandr Vykhodets, a Moldovan racketeer who is known for raiding channels using his bot farms so that their owners would pay for his raid protection bot GladOS. He also publicly targets individuals with unfavorable opinions as seen in his assault on Aryn.
Some suspect that they could have green lights from Pavel Durov due to the unintelligibly fast spam rate of his bot farms without getting limited by Telegram Anti-Spam.

2025 reaction faking incident
On May 15, 2025, the announcement post of a Telegram contest gained a lot of dislikes, and in turn, Telegram first disabled dislikes just to re-enable them later, and make each new dislike automatically assign two likes.
This was suspected to be a response to the fact that the high number of dislikes could be from bot farms.

It has been proven that each message box will have only its last one million messages visible. Despite the Telegram claim that this issue was addressed a long time ago, it is still noticed.
