Description
List of all gaming-related media sources in Telegram
Goals and objectives of the research
- Analyse the dataset "Gaming-related media sources - Telegram" for the first quarter of 2023
- Supplement the lists of Telegram channels with parameters from the second quarter of 2024
Research Methodology
Data from Telegram channels collected in 2020 were updated in the first quarter of 2023.
In the second quarter of 2024, the list was supplemented with the following parameters: Name, B2B/B2C, Status, AVG Views, Followers, Description, and Language. The new parameters are labelled as "Q2 2024."
The "AVG Views Q2 2024" parameter reflects the average number of views per post. The average view count was calculated as follows:
- Out of 12 posts made over the last 6 months, as of April 2024, 2 posts were excluded—one with the highest and one with the lowest number of views. Where:
- ∑views on the remaining 10 posts is the total number of views across the 10 posts
- 10 is the number of posts
- If there are 11 or 10 posts, the highest and lowest posts are excluded, and the average is calculated by dividing the total views by 9 or 8, respectively. If there are fewer than 10 posts, then the average is calculated by the sum of all post views divided by their number.
The "Followers" section in the summary table of AVG Views and Followers Q2 2024 includes the "Engagement %" parameter, calculated as:
Engagement % = (Average views per post/Number of Followers) x 100.
For detailed descriptions of each parameter, see the "Gaming-related media sources Q2 2024 - Telegram" appendix, under the "Legend" tab.
