>>95102099>they aren’t really treated as solo streamers anymore, they’re forced to being a duo.This in itself can be the reason for people to stop interacting in public, as their viewers will only see them as one half of the ship/duo rather than an individual, and it often leads to pressuring comments when they decide to collab with someone other than their ship partner (the usual example being the annoying 'cheating' comments).
It can still work out if they keep a good balance between individual and duo activities, have other collab groups without each other, and do their best to keep the annoying shippers in check. But for most people, the headache isn't worth it which is why you see so many ships 'die'.
