I’m not sure if rubbernecking is the term I should be using, but what do you call the act of commenting on an Internet discussion, just for the sake of letting other people know that you want to butt in, but not actually add anything to the discussion.
An example of this would be watching a heated argument on Facebook and you adding a comment, «Pass the popcorn», which is pretty annoying and does not actually add anything to the discussion.

Any person who passes such uncalled-for remarks that are not in line with the discussion are called trolls. This Wiki link provides all details about trolling.

The most obvious verb for such activity is to
kibitz («To chat; to gossip; to make small talk or idle chatter» or «To give unsolicited or unwanted advice or make unhelpful or idle comments, especially to someone playing a game»). Also consider to snark («To express oneself in a snarky fashion», ie to make snide remarks or offer sarcasm), and aforementioned troll. I’ve also seen such comments referred to as drive-bys (things «done quickly or in a cursory manner») and as flame bait («(Internet) deliberately provocative posting intended to start a flame war») or arson («The crime of setting a fire with intent to cause damage»).

The phenomenon is not dissimilar to this: Word for «butting in on the Net», yet it wouldn’t necessarily be considered trolling.
Person A replies to a comment/post by Person B on the internet. The conversation might be clearly between Person A and Person B, and it may be a debate/disagreement/point of contention.
As the conversation continues, Person C and Person D (who may be unknown to one or both parties)have been observing the exchange and decide to join the conversation, taking the side of the person they agree with most. In this case, they side with Person B.
So now Person A is having an exchange with Person B, C & D simultaneously.
It’s basically 3 against 1. The ‘spirit’ of the original conversation is now dead, and it has now become a firefight for Person A and more of a witch-hunt for Person’s B, C & D.
I see this happening in social media every day. It’s a nasty pattern.
Answer
This has recently been described as sealioning, after a popular comic strip about the practice. Sealioning specifically applies to situations when an interloper believes the topic of conversation concerns them and feels the need to defend themself. In my recent experience, the word rando has often been applied to people who do this, when the interlopers are unknown to the party whom they disagree with. I can’t find any citations regarding this specific use of rando, though, aside from various Twitter discussions I’ve observed it in, so it may be too new a redefinition of the term.
