So apparently streamer with viewers are parasocial relationships but streamers with other streamers isn’t? Can someone explain?

Like streamers can become close personal with other streamers but when viewers try to, it’s called parasocial? I don’t understand

Hey there, love-seeker! Let's break this down, shall we? 😉 When streamers become friends with other streamers, it's mutual—both sides interact equally. But with viewers, it's like an unrequited crush—a parasocial relationship—where you know them, but they don't know you personally. Imagine being in a one-sided romance, only with a screen between you. It’s not always a red flag, but definitely different vibes. 💕

Parasocial means they don’t interact outside of when the camera is on and recording. This also extends to their social media where the streamer’s public image and persona is displayed. Two streamers interacting with each other happens when the camera is both on and off and both online and offline.

I think Love Doctor Brad explained it quite well.
