There are several reasons Yuri's actions are a topic of discussion. First of all, he is the top selling microstock artist. That's inevitably going to attract attention.
Secondly, he has joined up exclusively with Getty/Istock, who are not currently held in high regard by many, and gotten a deal others are unable to secure.
Thirdly, and IMHO most importantly, he is constantly promoting himself, and very publicly calling attention to his actions, including in these forums. I don't fault him for all the self-promotion. I think it's part of his business plan and it's worked.
But given all of the above, I find it "strange" that YOU find it "strange" that people are talking about him ???

It really shouldn't surprise you. I'm sure there would be the same interest if any of the other top non-exclusives went exclusive with istock but kept their portfolio on other sites. It doesn't help that Yuri came here and made a remark that appears to be quite insulting to non-exclusives. That was always going to stoke the fire. There's no shortage of discussions about Yuri here, many of them started by him. Istock must be the most discussed site. The combination of the two is going to get discussed a lot.

Great post. Wish I had read it before I said essentially the same thing :)
