Many people want so desperately to believe that magical-thinking shortcut "solutions" will work that they'll spend good money to try to make it happen that they will suspend logic and critical thinking.
What I don't understand is that a site like BBC, doesn't actually harshly denounce it as a scam. Why?
Or something fitting that closely.
This is very worrying it made it into the BBC.
This item is based on no science and horribly overpriced, but cosmetically attractive and sneakily marketed. Shocking. They should diversify into premium Hifi. Edit.
Where is the pseudoscience? It seems like an outright scam from the author's post, without any science pretense.

If you think this is just bunk, and you'd like a laugh, read the FAQs on the website [1]... My favourite: >Does the device remove the EMF from the environment? If so can I use a meter to measure EMF? >>The 'electro magnetic meter' can only measure the intensity of radiation which is not changed by our technology nor does it change the quality of connection and speed of data transfer. Well, that's convenient, isn't it…
Yes. I have moved past thinking we need to protect people from this kind of thing. If they believe it, let them buy it. The only harm their ignorance is doing is to themselves. They might even get some kind of placebo reassurance from it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
If it interferes with radio transmissions, an fcc (or equivalent for your country) complaint is in order?
It does not; it's a sticker on an USB stick
> [...] promises to protect your family from 5G, using ground-breaking quantum technology My intuitive guess would be that for the target audience "ground-breaking quantum technology" would cause even more problems for their family than 5G. Interesting.
Don't think so. Quantum is often used as a convenient explanation for why things work in those circles (at least from what i've seen). How does it protect me from evil radiation? It's quantum, you wouldn't understand.
But maybe this can be used as a cure for many fears? I mean multiple studies have shown that the root cause for fear of flying comes from not knowing or understanding how a plane flies. I mean sure, it clearly does not flap its wings, so it might crash any second? But some quantum-stirred and fossil-entangled jet fuel might help.
"Mr Hall said his remarks in Glastonbury Town Council's 5G Advisory Committee report should not be seen as a recommendation to buy the product. But he had no regrets about buying it and since plugging it in had felt beneficial effects, including being able to sleep through the night and having more dreams." "I also felt a 'calmer' feel to the home," he told BBC News.
It's reassuring to know that your taxes are well spent on ensuring town council members can get a full night's sleep by buying a sticker.
