Streaming service

As opposed to digital download and physical media, it's a type of online multimedia that is delivered and consumed in a continous manner from a source, with little or no intermediate storage in network elements. It's a usually a type of subscription service.

The term "streaming" refers to the delivery method of content, rather than content itself.

Notable examples include Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max.

"The streaming service model is also good as digital download and physical media." - Some streaming service enthusiast

Stream sniper

Stream sniping is when someone watches your stream to get an upper hand to essentially cheat against you in a game. For example, they could find your position on an open-world map, find out where your base is, or even find out when you're low on health, so they can ambush you. It sucks. The deveopers of Rust, Facepunch Studios... are (to my knowledge), the first game developers to build a preventative measure against it into their game. They call it Streamer Mode.

Once I finally got some good loot, I was attacked by a stream sniper, who then stole all of my loot.

stream of lip

When you read someone the riot act, unleashing a stream of consciousness takedown, no holds barred.

Her's was the most raucous and effective example of stream of lip justice I've ever heard.

whisper-stream

A term describing the method by which information (whether true or false) flows through a society. Suggestive of the secrecy as well as the unpredictable and unstoppable nature of informal communication. Coined by author Andrew Vachss and first published in his book "Born Bad." The term differs from grapevine, which suggests individual truths, passed from person to person.

You can't trust everything you hear from the underground — the whisper-stream vacuums up everything, gold to garbage.

-"False Allegations" by Andrew Vachss (1997)
