This is something I don’t like - calling the viewers “chat”. I mean, it’s gender neutral, but I’d just randomly call them Ladies, Gentlemen, Ladymen, Gentles, viewers, guys, gals, bros, sis’s, folks, roflcopters, grills…
I’m no streamer btw. Maybe I‘d just get skibidi cancelled lol xD

They are literally referencing a live chat though—when you see it recorded on YouTube you aren’t always seeing what they see. Most times I have seen people say “chat”, it is because they are literally looking at a chat room screen, or they are saying it somewhat ironically to reference the community of chatters that they typically interact with.
Furthermore, the way those chats work is sort of like an anonymous hive mind rather than individual users, so people say “chat” to refer to the meta-consensus of comments rather than an individual. If you imagine their community as a summer camp, it is the same energy as saying “good evening campers” when addressing the hoard of identical kids in scout uniforms—their identity is being addressed as a group.

I’m cool with it for streams, but it got really confusing because I’ve also heard slightly older young’uns refer to ChatGPT as “Chat”
So, like, “Idk I heard it from Chat” can either be a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust random twitch users, or a horrifying revelation that they listen to and trust inchoate AI tech.
