1) This is "James's Reality".

A multi platform social media personality who has promoted his content across Twitter, Youtube and FB, for about 5 years.

Well actually, not quite.

This is actually a picture of a character from the video game GTA 5.
2) Here’s James being published by the BBC.

Presented as a totally genuine and normal person.

The BBC used him as part of a series of genuine voices to illustrate that a march against Brexit was “pathetic”.

3) James says he’s a 32 year old CTO.

At one of the world’s biggest tech companies.

Jeez, nice.
4) James is a genius.

With MSCs. He went to MIT.

Sometimes in applied mathematics and sometimes also in cryptography.
5) James is a CTO at 32, in 2020.

He was 30 in 2016 though.
6) He's American, not British. Apparently.
7) James, the 32 year old American MIT educated CTO, of one of the biggest companies in the world.

Lives in south Yorkshire.

In England.

Between Sheffield and Barnsley.
8) James, the CTO of one of the biggest tech companies in the world, also runs a Youtube Channel.

I’ll leave it to you to decide if this “Welcome to my Youtube channel” video, looks like it was created by a silicon valley tech CTO.

Really neat graphics

9) On Youtube, JamessReality uploads hundreds of videos of political interviews and news from British TV.

Mostly right wing snippets about Brexit.

Most of them are ignored and get between 0 and 10 views.

Totally normal.
10) On Twitter, tech CTO James, repeatedly spams links to the Daily Express.

RationalWiki describes the Express as “like the daily mail but more vapid and sensationalist”.

(Past 30 days)
11) James the tech CTO at one of the world’s biggest companies with a PhD in Computer Science, gets his tech support by...

posting questions about his new iPhone. On Twitter.
12) James encourages people to follow him on Instagram, Twitter, Youtube and Facebook.

His Instagram account looks like this.

It’s weird.
13) Hundreds of motivational memes stolen from Instagram accounts like “Billionaire mindset” & “6am Success Tips”

Each accompanied with a one word comment from James like “True” or “I try every day” or "My life"

There are hardly ever any likes / comments.

It looks automated.
14) It gets weirder.

32 year old tech CTO James released a “video statement” (yes, it’s a video).

It's basically a rant about his suspension from Twitter in 2019.

He refers to being banned for using "artificial" followers.

The video received a total of….1 view.
15) If banned from Twitter, would the CTO of one of the world’s biggest tech companies either:

a) Release a blurred “Statement for immediate release!!”, creepy video on Instagram

b) Phone their counterpart at Twitter
16) James is more sophisticated than most, in some ways.

He definitely commits to the character.

But much of the content is just weird.

It looks automated or created by cheap data entry workers, perhaps.

“Computers” 👍
17) “The death penalty is dying in the USA”
18) He's a Conservative party member.

"The British people will never forget"
19) He also claims he's a labour party member and loved the former leader, Jeremy Corbyn.

(Now deleted)
20) Some of the language refers to “us” and “we”.

The change in tone and type of English used suggests more than one person too.

This Youtube About US section is very normal.
21) “James” has been doing this for 5 years.

His tweets have been published by the BBC as proof of “public opinion”.

Serious people on social media argue with him.

He lectures them about his PhD and his role as a “CTO”.

Most of them seem to accept it.
22) Very normal. Very real. Totally real.

Welcome to the @Trollzoo ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
23) 10 minutes after posting this thread....

32 year old tech CTO James' Twitter account is protected & hidden.

His profile picture has changed to a stolen picture of Tom Hardy from DeviantArt.

Throw in a Ronald Reagan quote for good measure.

Welcome to the @TrollZoo
24) Genuine people report that they'd had real debates with tech CTO James. https://twitter.com/PascalR57/status/1330813611422388224
25) RIP James' social media. The, 32 year old MIT tech CTO from Barnsley or New York.

The tech industry will be reeling. Wall Street will be scrambling... probably.

Welcome to the @TrollZoo, this enclosure is now closed. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
26) The BBC weren't the only ones to publish James' Tweets, to illustrate "public opinion".
