This is really a monumental societal change.

3rd spaces are nearly completely destroyed, and online seems to be the main option for ppl now.

Wow.... what's wild to me about this is around the time where "Through friends" and "Online" cross is when I was having a shit time with the dating sites of the time and my best friend introduced me to my partner. I guess I lucked out a bit there.

Side note, I'd be curious to see how this looks now, if there has been any rebound in post lock down times.
