Some people may think that the editor behind these videos/photos, moments ... wants to PROVE the world that the relationship is REAL
NO! it's not the goal (and it never was)
they want to get your idol's attention , to show him/her that it might be fun to go out / meet and date this idol !!!! that's why they do all this crazy stuff
and believe it or not, it works
( rectification : it might work 50%, because sometimes he find your choices ugly or not at his level so ..)
I bet every idol has researched their ship on the internet at least once in their life. it's impossible that they were never curious
and that's why fans want to stop shippers because they give the idol an idea of "what it would be like"
I've heard so many couples who come out of a ship..... and break up quickly, than a normal couple! I think they tried but you can't force a relationship that isn't working
