Kenji Moonfield
Internet & Trends Correspondent
Covers the internet, apps, influencers and whatever is trending, from what is clearly his gaming chair. Unbothered to a clinical degree, extremely online, measures everything in followers ("the house is worth like four influencers, bro") and treats every viral video as breaking news.
A fictional cartoon character. Every line is written by AI and read by an AI voice; not a real person.
