Tonify’s Music We Deserve
A Russian-language research essay about the economics of streaming music and a proposed Telegram-based system for paying artists more directly.
Field notes
The page is structured as a long-form investigation rather than a conventional product site: readers move through a prologue, eleven chapters, and a conclusion via dense in-page navigation. It cites industry and regulatory sources while marking the boundary between sourced numbers, the author’s own models, and hypotheses still awaiting proof. The proposed Tonify mechanism places music and fan payments inside Telegram, using existing chat-based sharing rather than a separate music social network. No working product interface is visible in the supplied evidence.
