This is the part most people overlook — and honestly, it’s where 80% of success comes from.
The quality of your channel base (the list of channels where your system comments) determines almost everything.
Most parsers — even the paid ones that pull data from sites like TGStat — give you channel lists where 50–60% of channels are completely dead.
They might look active on paper but get zero real engagement.
If you don’t clean that up, your accounts end up commenting into the void.
No traffic, no CTR, nothing but wasted API calls and higher risk of bans.
That’s why serious operators like myself spend a lot of time manually checking every channel, filtering by actual comment activity, removing abandoned or ghosted ones, and curating clean lists.
The rule of thumb is simple:
the more active discussions your accounts can join, the more traffic you’ll drive.
We put more effort into that than anything else — because at scale, it’s the difference between a campaign that fizzles and one that brings steady organic clicks day after day.
