Yuri Baranovsky, Break a Leg co-creator and star, has gained much media attention on his views about web video monetization, along with YouTube's partner program announcement, and is now at it again with a reprise about YouTube. In a new blog post, Yuri explains that YouTube is not the problem in the monetization equation but one of the best allies Break a Leg has had, "They've featured us constantly, they've promoted our work, they even called us down to their headquarters to ask us for suggestions on various things." Michael Learmonth from Silicon Alley Insider picked up on the significance of Yuri's comments in his article, "Poorly Paid Web Video Dude: I'm Happy YouTube Gives Me Anything" and NewTeeVee's Chris Albrecht acknowledged Yuri's YouTube affections in a Vid Biz.
