Tips

culture

僵尸 (zombie / stiff corpse) + 号 (account number) — accounts that exist but show no signs of life. Often bought in bulk to fake a creator's follower count, which is why platforms periodically purge them.

usage

Compare 小号 (alt account / sub-account), 马甲号 (sock-puppet account), and 水军 (paid commenters / 'water army'). 僵尸号 specifically implies inactivity, not necessarily malice.
