Riley Chen

Riley Chen is a writer with a sharp eye for patterns and a deep curiosity about why content spreads the way it does. He writes on technology, trends, culture, and the weird little behaviors that make the internet what it is. His style is quick, clever, and often makes room for a side joke or two. Riley is as comfortable writing about algorithm shifts as he is reviewing a niche meme format. Outside of work, he's a fan of multiplayer games, and starting (but not finishing) digital art tutorials.

Riley began his career in UX research, studying how people emotionally respond to digital environments. That background gives his content writing a natural structure and he pays attention to pacing, tone, and how people are likely to interpret a piece. He's written about everything from social app redesigns to internet slang to the performative nature of public comments.

His work has been picked up and shared by many site visitors and even self-proclaimed meme historians. One of his most-read pieces was an explainer on parasocial relationships, which continues to be widely shared for its clarity and insight.
