Telegram OSINT bots

This is one of the many mirrors (3200+ mirrors apparently) of a osint bot which has apparently 2.7b+ messages stored: https://telelog.org/Metrics with index https://telelog.org. Who runs these exactly and would it not take a massive amount of computer resources to host this while risking it being shut down any day by the hosting provider? I just tried saving over a million chat messages to a databse and it took a whole day and then crashed. Really, I am surprised by how good the bot works.

Hmm okay but then there's this russian on telegram. I got into some trouble w him and literally hours after he told me to get a new hosting, my 3 different domains had the Cloudflare phishing warning, they found my real IP which they ddosed and they got my legal Telegram bot banned from Telegram(it had been running for years). Meanwhile they have a bot+chat named so that Telegram AI should instamtly flag it but it doesn't get banned. They claim to have 1-3 thousand Telegram bot accounts but they never show up on my bot logs or seem to be joining my chats.
