EEVblog #1099 - BattBump Kickstarter REDACTED EDITION!

UPDATE: Someone has paid for a massive amount of Dislikes on this and my other BattBump video!
The infamous video is back up, with hilarious redactions to prevent illegitimate Youtube Privacy complaints from, I don't know, Bozo the clown perhaps, you can't be too careful these days on Youtube!

You can still see the Kickstarter campaign and all the details here:
The campaign was shut down by the owner, it was not removed by Kickstarter.

BattBump - A mobile app to share battery charge via NFC!
Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds.
It's NOT a joke, it's the dumbest Kickstarter idea ever.

Jeez, I really hope that Catherine Rebecca Clark Field from Sydney, Australia, working at CBN as a producer for Channel 9 on the show CyberShark wont see this and file another complaint.

Scammer.

It sucks that youtube automated system is protecting the reputation of a scammer who doesn't want to be tied with this obvious bs they though they could get away with.

[meisam]

Prove you are not a scam by paying people to down-vote this video! Absolute genius!! She deserves to be the president in US or something!

[oswaldjh]

The power used to run the App would likely be more than could be transferred by NFC.

Glad you redacted out the info because I didn't get to see this in time.
This is just horrible, I hate when campaigns are out to scam people...

[OneBiOzZ]

I have had this exact same idea ... drunk ... when i was 22 .. it took me literally 4 hung over minutes to realize that's stupid as hell

[disorganizedorg]

I'm going to guess that someone is going to get a first-hand demonstration of the Streisand Effect

Cat Clark, producer, Sydney, CBN, Channel 9 show CyberShark

She deleted her personal website as well. Unfortunately for her the internet never forgets...
She even deleted her linked in...

And I watch it once again for the full lenght! It's a scandal, that some harmed Ego could affect your Job and income directly, just because you told the truth. Such a move isn't just a joke - it has serious consequences for the creator. Keep on with your great work, Dave!

I introduce *buttdial* you bump phones and a speakerphone call is initiated to someone inappropriate to your surroundings and random from your contacts

[msca]

3 thieves from Battbump thumbed this down...

[MarkFunderburk]

OK, attempt #3 getting through this video before it disappears!

[meisam]

Please release the old video under a free license so I can upload it to the whole internet!

[rsattahip]

YouTube should be happy you're making news by stopping investor fraud.

[alankingvideo]

For some reason I watch your video and the name Cat Clark keeps popping into my head. Isn’t she something or do with Chanel 9?

[MarkInArizona]

Sad to see that YouTube rewards stupidity and protects the scam artist. Keep posting and doing what you do -- it is greatly appreciated and love the humor of it as well.

[romainf]

That's a shame for Kickstarter, YouTube and everyone trying to expose the truth.
I get the reasons why you redacted some info, and that was probably the wise thing to do.
However as you rightly said, everything was PUBLIC!
These people need no lurking in the shade, they need to be exposed and "press" tech like you need to be protected and recognised as such.
Good luck Dave!

I watched the original, now I will watch this one just because of the shitty false complaints.
