Andy is a fairly new and derogatory/tongue in cheek term (from twitch, long story) that basically means people that get attention from jumping on someone else's creative bandwagon.

Basically someone else does the creation, and you become an Andy by trying to get involved without really adding much value.

That isn't what the term Andy means in the Twitch world. It's just a way to refer to the style of content that someone makes on Twitch. For example, a "React Andy" is someone who makes reactionary content, a "1k Andy" is someone that is stuck at 1k average viewership, a "Crypto Andy" is someone who is obsessed with crypto.
