It’s not steadily. They only have two data points. All lines are straight. You can pretty much ignore what happens between the two years at the start and end, and you can also ignore any apparent trend because, hell, the last year might be an outlier, or maybe bars has been higher and is now trending down.
I don’t buy that Bar/Restaurant has steadily increased as people have become more isolated.
My guess is it’s a self-reporting error, where people meet on dating apps, but are reporting where they first met in person.
The data ends in 2017. 6 year old data is pretty useless considering how much has changed in just the last 3
Gotta remember it’s only a percentage. Maybe the number didn’t grow at all, just didn’t decrease much as the others (and might include nightclubs too)
