The goal of every Internet presence, it seems, is to win the most attention of the general public.

The main characters all spend their time fighting against the various corrupt systems and unjust conditions that occur as a result of inadequate information. Some manage to remain true to their vision and develop useful content, while others tend to glut the Internet with bland and boring advertising that is unsuccessful. Nonetheless, it remains on the airwaves regardless of how useful or what results it produces.

The central discourse concerning human freedom within the context of the information age and the future is also addressed. The social context of how information affects every day life is also covered.

Both fake and original characters reflect upon how information affects them, the public and society. This poses questions such as the importance of having more information for the sake of it. For example, is excessive information designed to create confusion or to help. How inauthentic information and inaccuracies can distort outcomes as decisions are made based upon the information at hand is also discussed.
