I certainly don't claim to know everything that goes on in the React ecosystem (especially outside the US), but I _am_ pretty tuned in with the major trends and discussions that are going on, and I've seen plenty of real-world React applications and codebases. None of that matches anything I've seen thus far. I have never heard of Facebook paying "software evangelists". I suppose it's possible, but it really doesn't match with what I know about how Facebook develops and uses React.
