BU is being kept up by just a few people with very deep pockets. Yes, I am referring to both Roger Ver & Jihan Wu. Other than a few shills that they pay there is no one really supporting BU.
I think you should avoid Googling and do a bit more fact checking. The community stands strong with it's support for SegWit. Pools signalling BU support doesn't mean anything. You know what bit of software they use to signal support, right?
Bitcoin's market share is lower than ever but the delusion of small blockers remains strong.
Miners are choosing the solution that is actually available *today* to solve the current serious problem of Bitcoin no longer being usable to make payments.
BU may not be a perfect solution but it's the only solution on the table.
(No, segwit is a can-kick that will gain not more than a few months)
