There are some people in China who are very good at playing Go, but they only like to play Go for fun. They like to stay at a certain level and even occasionally give their opponents a free victory in the promotion game.
In computer or video games "farming" refers to when you do something repeatedly to gain resources, xp or rating points in the game. It can be exploiting a bug or simply doing tasks over and over again, like beating easy enemies in an adventure game. It's not so much about skill, as it is about grinding. As a result, a tongue in cheek way to call someone weak is to imply that playing against them is farming (easy rating points). Which is why Positive jokingly refers to me playing him as farming. On top of that, in this video I could have literally kept farming that 随便下66 guy for free wins. Hope that helps :)
I am watching your commentaries following them with katago. Very nice experience, interesting to see both when you get it right and also when wrong.

btw, where did you learn Chinese?
@@kevinpan1763 I studied a bit at university in Stockholm, but most of it I just picked up from living in China
for the record, I still don't understand "farming"
