Absolutely wild: I wrote about Paul Zimmer, the disgraced social media star with nearly 8 million followers, and how he has rebranded himself after two years of silence as... an entirely different personhttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/01/strange-case-paul-zimmer-influencer-tiktok-instagram-rebrand-different-person-troy-becker …
Paul Zimmer was literally in the top 20 most popular account on http://Musical.ly — the app that was bought by TikTok that was also popular for short vids/lipsyncing. This video, from right before he disappeared, currently has 778K views https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/01/strange-case-paul-zimmer-influencer-tiktok-instagram-rebrand-different-person-troy-becker …pic.twitter.com/SBOWIg4CXH
But he was hounded off the app in April 2017 for making loads of promises to his fans and allegedly not following through on them. Since then his account has been totally silent, until he posted this in October https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/01/strange-case-paul-zimmer-influencer-tiktok-instagram-rebrand-different-person-troy-becker …pic.twitter.com/ZV3xHwl2Ia
As of December, Paul has said he’s quitting social media forever. BUT he’ll be giving “Troy” all of his accounts because they, uh, look alike. Paul is 24-years-old — “Troy” is claiming to be 16.https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/01/strange-case-paul-zimmer-influencer-tiktok-instagram-rebrand-different-person-troy-becker …
LMAO: Sometime in the last 24 hours, Zimmer turned off comments on his TikTok which had been previously full of 10K+ comments of people calling him out https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/social-media/2020/01/strange-case-paul-zimmer-influencer-tiktok-instagram-rebrand-different-person-troy-becker …pic.twitter.com/8YawmUZ4gN
I'd have to call this whole situation a Zimmer frame
