zoombombing 

An online, viral act in which people, like hackers and YouTubers, hack into Zoom sessions for the sole purpose of showing everyone else in the calls/sessions shocking porn, gore images/videos, and generally disturbing and offensive content via Zoom's screen-broadcasting and webcam features.

It's only recently become an issue because of how many kids and workers are at home due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of so many new users flooding the platform and the media giving it tons of attention, trolls, hackers, and other kinds of people have decided to strike while the iron's hot, so to speak, and hack into people's Zoom sessions for no other reason than entertaining themselves.
Timmy: Holy shit Simon! You'll never guess what just happened in my last Zoom session!
Simon: Dude, what happened? Spill the beans.
Timmy: So, my English teacher was holding a Zoom session between her, my other classmates, and me, but suddenly, some weird dude hopped into the session!
Simon: Then what happened?
Timmy: He turned on his screen-broadcasting feature and began playing videos of guys fucking dogs!
Simon: Wow, why would any sane person think about showing bestiality videos to children?
Timmy: There's some really fucked-up people in this world, huh?
Simon: That includes people who like zoombombing, right?

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
