Blogger and television host Ida Galich weighed in on remarks made by her colleague Nastya Ivleeva about the way social networks are promoted with money, sharing thoughts on a Telegram channel. Ivleeva had written on her page that certain individuals are willing to pay extra to prominent Telegram channels to feature posts. Some readers wondered if the message was aimed at Galich, though the presenter appears unsure that the remarks were about him.
Galich made it clear that he has never paid for a single post. He emphasized that his show, I Have Questions, enjoys a high level of public awareness and citation, underscoring that the reach of his content isn’t driven by financial backing but by audience interest and trust.
He stated, 30All posts about my conversion in Telegram, all the news from yesterday have nothing to do with my wallet. I can support social initiatives that genuinely require help, and beyond that, the engagement comes from the audience’s affection and attention.31
Still, the broadcaster could understand why people might suspect him. 30Nastya published a provocative post only ten minutes after mine. It feels like a line from Dubtsova’s songs: WHOM?! For what purpose?!31 Galich concluded, acknowledging how quick reactions can spark interpretations about motive.
Earlier, Galich had spoken about emotional moments while watching the film 22The Challenge22, noting that the experience moved him deeply. (Source: media coverage, attributed remarks.)
