[ SLANG ][ STREAMING_CULTURE ][ NOUN ]
Jumping between multiple stream chats or channels during downtime instead of settling in to watch any single stream, treating chat itself as the entertainment rather than the content on screen.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I wasn't even watching either stream, just chat hopping between the two chats for an hour."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named for the specific viewer behavior of tab-hopping between several live chats at once, chasing whichever chat currently has the most active back-and-forth rather than committing to one stream.
