Telegram is not blocked and is often the main channel through which people get their news.

Whatever stuff you want to see, you may consume there.

Indeed, news on the web are going the way of newspapers.

Though I really wonder why Telegram is not blocked given that it was historically.

For one, perhaps because Telegram does not take sides and does not take down Russian content.

Perhaps because they had some agreement in the end, perhaps because they simply couldn't.

In any case, it is now vital information infrastructure in ways YouTube isn't. Even though YouTube definitelt is critical. It's not just an amusement source.
