Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin XT and Bitcoin Unlimited all have their own websites.
SegWit was first proposed by Pieter Wuille, a core developer. And it's supported by many core developers several of which who work at Blockstream.
Bitcoin Unlimited is currently running ads on Reddit and elsewhere to encourage people to use it.
The two main supporters of Bitcoin Unlimited are Roger Ver and Jihan Wu, who owns Bitmain. Jihan's company manufacturers the most successful ASICs for bitcoin and litecoin. They've invested hundreds of millions of dollars in bitcoin mining operations.
Roger Ver also has recently launched a cloud mining service on Bitcoin.com which many view as a scam. This is weeks after speaking on camera while deleting an old tweet criticizing Bitclub, a similar MLM cloud hashing service. This speaks to Roger's judgement especially after his Mt. Gox video.
Several dirty tactics have been employed by both sides.
Roger, Jihan and Bitcoin Unlimited proposes to create a President of Bitcoin and some confederation. Jihan on twitter stated he misunderstood the open source community:
"I regretted one thing. In China, open source culture is not popular. I did not understand it. We put too less or 0 money into community."
Segregated Witness does fix transaction malleability which has been a problem for 3+ years.
Nick Szabo, Adam Back (CEO of Blockstream) and 8+ bitcoin core developers support SegWit.
Yes Blockstream has taken $65 million in venture capital, which should be questioned, but Bitman has hundreds of millions invested.
I am unsure who to trust but it's a much more complicated situation than your comment suggests.
