Seeing a single female and male of a similar age interact makes people imagine them in a relationship.
Probably an evolutionally behaviour to encourage more pairings and therefore more children.
You just see a lot more of it these days due to internet exposure but it has always been happening, centuries ago peasants would ship nobles and royals or other single peasants.
100 years ago people shipped celebrities because it's a large population of well known men and women interacting.
Now in the current age streamers and other internet persona get shipped.
You see Vedal shipped constantly because there's no other "competition" in the vtuber space, especially in the indie space. The majority of male vtubers look like fags or are just for a female audience.
Before vtubers streamers were almost all male and so there was barely any shipping between streamers.
