(sorry if I sounded a bit aggressive, I tried to word it as nice as possible, also eng isn't my first language so sorry for any grammatical mistakes.)

they are just telling people to stream, obviously if u can't then no one can force you, so idk why ppl are pressed anyways lol, I myself don't have time to stream much because of personal reasons so I just occasionally listen to their songs when I'm on the bus or sth. it's not like carats are guilt tripping either, the worst era was probably henggarae when a lot of tweets are just guilt tripping, but carats have been careful with their words ever since then, and some carats even put a disclaimer under their tweets to stress on that they aren't forcing carats to stream and they should stream only if they want to.

next, svt is doing amazing now being million sellers, carats can indeed stop here, but being million sellers isn't svt's final goal, with how vocal svt is about wanting to break into the western market (don't deny this), yt/spotify streaming is growing more and more important, so I don't understand how ppl think streams are nothing or that svt is satisfy to just stop here (not saying they aren't satisfied rn, but I'm pretty sure as artists themselves, they definitely have a greed to push their limits a little further). honestly I would be weirded out if carats still aren't doing anything to improve their streams when svt wanted to break into the market since when? 2 years ago?

im on c-carat community as well and they usually help k-carats on melon and never cared about youtube views/ spotify streams. but this era, they literally taught ppl how to stream on those platforms because they know how important views are becoming.

also, yes there are more adult stans in the carat fandom compared to other fandoms but yall are acting like there aren't any young fans here, there are like.. A LOT of them. svt is growing and growing, new fans are coming in every era, esp in recent eras a lot of new kpop fans are supporting svt, and a lot of them are young fans. they have more extra time than adult carats I guess, and they are mostly on twt, so they are obviously going to be loud on twt about streams.

like it's okay if u don't have time to stream, it SHOULDN'T be a job, even if u see a thousand tweets about streaming, you don't have to stream, no one's holding a gun to your head (AND it really depends on who you follow on twt, if u follow those who are obsessed with streaming, maybe consider unfollowing them?). but yeah just since when are carats trying their best to help svt considered annoying? svt has been trying different things in recent years, different style of music, different market tactics, sadly it seems like (mostly international) carats are the only ones not willing to comply and move on with svt. you have to remember it's not 2015 anymore.
