First time trying out aged accounts for a niche Telegram promo, and man, that move changed the whole game for me. The ones I grabbed - clean history, no suspicious joins, solid naming. A friend tipped me off that some vendors get early stock right after bans or purges, so you gotta watch the timing. Picked mine mid-week and avoided the weekend crowd. No bans, no ghosting, just straight engagement from day one. Noticed better group retention too. Easily worth it for the edge it gives. I ran a couple of split tests with newer accounts and the difference was night and day-aged ones warmed up the chats instantly, while fresh ones barely moved the needle. Even saw some organic replies coming through without any pushing. It’s not just about staying unflagged; it’s the credibility boost that really sets things apart. I’m doubling down next round and already building a short list of reliable suppliers who don’t flood the market.
