On Yandex.Music it is now possible to directly support the artist with money.

In the numerous topics on Habré relating to copyright, the observance of which by right-holding companies often takes on ugly forms, it was often realized that piracy as a phenomenon in the media industry could have disappeared if a particular content producer had not been forced to conclude with publishing companies publishing contracts spread their material and, accordingly, fall into dependence, and could receive a “return” directly from users in the form of specific financial injections. Then the distribution of digital content in the digital age would take more civilized forms - at least such as is required by the legislation of a large number of states, and all parties — consumers and artists alike — would be completely satisfied.

On Yandex.Music it became possible to implement something similar. It is now possible to support a novice artist or thank an already well-known one through Yandex.Money - “the fee is transferred only on a voluntary basis, and the user determines the amount of the transfer”. For the time being, only three groups participate in the donation system, but any artist can apply for participation in the program by giving his Yandex.Money account number.
