A public livestream that receives absolutely no views but is conducted in a manner as though people were actively viewing it.
'Strem' is very similar to 'stream' but lacks the letter *a*, representing a livestream that is deprived of its vital component: viewers. The streamer is left alone strumming to their own beat but they still act as if they were in-front of, or sometimes as if they are pretending to engage with, a live audience... while at the same time understanding their viewer count is sitting at 0 and that in reality not a soul is watching (excluding the VoD).
To immediate observers the person(s) interacting with their webcam could be seen as being weird and/or crazy, but in fact this supposed method is a better way to attract and retain newcomers than by sitting in silence. In essence, *streming* relates to being constantly present in the flow state whilst giving zero fucks about what potential onlookers might initially think of you and your home-protected behavior... all for the sake of growth and the idea of living out loud on the Internet.
Stremers tend to latch onto hopium; the majority of them believe that they are or will one day become an actualized "real" streamer given by their determined attitude, as if it were their destiny to be on the frontpage, but many times, they are actually fakes and simply not good enough, which leads to them burning out, quitting, and getting hooked to copium.

A subtle and insidious manipulative tactic that insinuates doubt and poisons trust through calculated undertones, veiled remarks, and half-truths, often thriving in environments primed for suspicion. It gradually erodes the target’s credibility and relationships, all while avoiding direct confrontation and leaving the manipulator’s hands clean.
She never directly criticized me in the Discord chat, but her melotruous remarks about 'how things were usually done' subtly undermined my suggestions. She played on the group's established norms and hierarchies to make me seem out of line, gradually isolating me from the others, all while appearing helpful and supportive.

Get the deffy mug.
The act of showing up uninvited at someone's house (usually a targeted streamer with existing parasocial relationship issues) and then attempting to stay as long as humanly possible.
"Have you ever heard about the avid fan who traveled 17 hours to creature sodapoppin and left drugs behind right after he was forced to leave?"
"Did you know that there is an Andy over there that is creaturing Ice Poseidon later today on stream?"
"I am definitely afraid of being creatured so I take steps to protect all my personal information to avoid getting doxed." - Pokimane (not an actual quote)
