Trash stream

For the processing of refuse, see Garbology.

A trash stream (or patostream in Poland, meaning "pathological stream") is a type of live broadcast where the host engages in shocking, dangerous, humiliating or otherwise controversial actions, often involving themself or others. These streams are typically monetized through viewer donations, often using services like DonationAlerts, and are primarily hosted on platforms such as YouTube.

Trash streaming is mostly popular in Russia, Ukraine and Poland. Incidents have also occurred in Finland, where this phenomenon is known as rappiostriimaus (degradationstream).
