That’s interesting. I wonder whether those 6519 surveyed are representative of whole population, or of people who anyway online a lot.
It’s seems there was an inflection around 2012 - what happened then ?
The curve ends during covid lockdowns, wonder whether deflected since ?
Tinder launched in 2012. eHarmony and Match.com were pretty fringe sites but Tinder commodified and gamified the mechanics. That made online dating “fun”. Also we saw a huge growth in smart phones in 2010 to 2012
Based on the one class I took in college about surveys and mass comm I’d say that’s a good sample size (assuming they were chosen at random). Most political polls survey about 1500 people with 90%+ accuracy

But how, practically, do you choose any sample “at random” nowadays ?
Especially if trying to avoid a bias towards (or away from) online people ?
Great question! Back in the day we would pick names at random in the phone book so my info is pretty outdated
