Imagine this…


Two influencers collaborate a few times.
They laugh together.
They have good chemistry, or they’re just naturally friendly.

Within days, clips start to flood TikTok, and comments are filled with:

“Just date already.”
“They’re definitely together.”
“I know they’re hiding their relationship.”

Soon enough, people get way too invested in the private lives of people they only know online.
