There's a reason addicts of all kinds exist - tricking them in to doing things against their will.
Grooming is merely the act of tricking others to use them for your own devices, whether it is to get in to a relationship with them, control freak-ish harem building, blackmail or some other perverted reasons.
Lonely vtubers, no, lonely streamers looking to make friends / a community are more often than not too vulnerable to have formed proper social skills and are very open to being groomed due to this.
Most humans don't deal well with huge social connections and it gets skewed horribly when you're the center of attention in that map.
When a creator becomes parasocial for their own community, it opens them up for being groomed by whoever is brave enough / corrupt enough to try.
It has nothing to do with mental maturity or age.
There's people at pension ages who have been abused their entire lives and still "haven't got it".
