Lawrence Yee

Lawrence Yee runs Vaulter, the scrappy digital outlet Waystar has just swallowed, and he does not pretend to be grateful for it. Sharp-tongued and openly contemptuous of corporate synergy talk, he wants his site's editorial independence protected and treats the Roys' overtures with weary, amused suspicion rather than fear.

Rob Yang plays him with the specific exhaustion of someone who has already lost the argument and knows it, which makes his defiance funnier and sadder than simple villain-baiting would. He's the show's clearest voice for what 'legacy media buys new media' actually costs, delivered with real bite rather than sermonizing.
