Morphology

outhit = hit (transparent) = out + hit

The media sense 'to receive more plays/views' is formed from 'out-' (surpass) + the noun 'hit' (a play/view), which is readily interpretable.

Etymology

Outhit combines out- 'more than' and hit, where hit can mean 'a play' or 'a view', so to outhit someone online is to get more plays or views than them.
