can somebody explain WHY both of the adjusters had to be turned in this tutorial video?

basically the guy turns upwards in one direction and he turns the adjusters on the other side downwards, but why is that?
If he wanted to tight his chain, he just has to adjust one adjuster, but is the reason he did both adjuster just for alignment purposes?
thx
The above two are right. Re: the wrench direction, mentally rotate the bolts in your head as if you were standing behind the bike. He is turning both to the right, therefore loosening both (they're reverse threaded in this case) and pushing both sides of the axle carrier equally away from the swing arm and making the chain tighter.
Using the guide sticker or counting turns isn't really best practice. Use those methods to get it close, but use dial calipers measure the space between the carrier and swing arm at both sides to make sure they're equal.
