[ SLANG ][ SELF_OPTIMIZATION ][ NOUN ]
Deliberately narrowing one's interests and online persona down to one extremely specific niche, treated as a maxxing strategy the same way looksmaxxing optimizes appearance.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Full nichemaxxing, he only posts about one specific decade of one specific console now."
LORE & ORIGIN
Extends the '-maxxing' suffix pattern (looksmaxxing) to niche identity, once online communities started applying the same all-in optimization framing to hyper-specific interests.
