There is a VK post widget here.

"Telegram is likely to support the following popular widgets in the future:
• VK Post
Supporting content from these widgets is optional since it will eventually become available through official means."

- Supporting it on your own is optional. Simply removing the content is a valid issue!

- My appeal to same issue: https://telegra.ph/Appeal-to-issue-about-VK-Post-Widget-03-23
It's not so simple since new rules came. They said "optional to extract content", and converting it to <iframe> it's same to "extract". Why? Because <iframe> version of VK Post Widget was working even before IV 2.0 Contest started!

- 1) "Because when support will be added there will be no IV anyway"
Yes, that's correct and that's exactly what we want. It's ALWAYS better to have no IV than to have wrong IV.
If there will be support (again) one day, you can still add support later, or just leave it. Users will visit the page in their browser and can see the content in question.
2) "Because rules told me so"
https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#2-3-pages-featuring-content-unsupported-in-the-iv-format
As you can see the content in question is clearly not supported (no matter if it was or will be supported). The rules say that 1) you don't need to extract content from a soon to be supported widget - but if you don't extract it, it MUST be unsupported. Missing content is the most significant type of issue in the IV contest. One can argue about @unsupporting embeds vs extracting content but there is nothing to argue about missing content.
- Type of issue
