The original Twitch feature and practice of a streamer sending their entire live audience directly to another streamer's channel at the end of their broadcast, a gesture of mutual support that also functions as free audience distribution — distinct from the Whatnot live-commerce "Raid" feature that later adapted the same concept for e-commerce.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He ended the stream with a raid, sending his whole chat over to a smaller streamer he wanted to support."
LORE & ORIGIN
Built into Twitch's platform from its early years as a way for streamers to hand off their audience to a friend or fellow creator when ending a broadcast, becoming one of streaming culture's core community-support rituals before the concept was later adapted into other platforms' own audience-transfer features.
