My questions were meant to be more or less rhetorical, but:
He is a hired hand that promotes products on social media. That has been established a while back.
He (Batteriser Batteroo on Youtube) actually explained this himself when asked by someone called EEVblog
As for who are "those"? well, the whole campaign started with a tale of industrial espionage of breaking and entering to steal their tech. Whoever runs the campaign know exactly what they are doing and they are pretty good at human psychology used as a marketing tool.
Yeah, the fact that PCWorld (
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2928997/batteriser-is-a-250-gadget-that-extends-disposable-battery-life-by-800-percent.html) published this 'industrial espionage' story is what bothers me the most anyway. How could a good journalist
not have any doubts after this stupid robbery
(psst: it was the battery industry!) story? Or this 800% claim?
But who are they trying to fool when they say about the YT channel: "We are not in any way affiliated with Batteriser, or Batteroo Inc. We are simply a fan page.". And why don't they have a YT channel? This just doesn't make sense to me at all.
And also the way they talk on both YT and IGG, to me that looks like they are very affiliated with each other.
