What does "to DonoWall" mean in online streaming slang?
The structure combines "Dono" (short for donation) with "Wall", forming a verb that describes ignoring or blocking a viewer's message. It is used when a streamer receives a donation with a text message attached, but deliberately does not read it aloud or respond, usually because the message is off topic, rude, awkward, or self promotional. Viewers complain about being DonoWalled when they spend money expecting recognition but get silence instead.
Examples
She hit me with the DonoWall after I tipped $ 10.
