I met online but not through dating apps. Any place you talk to strangers is a chance to find someone. People have been known to meet through World of Warcraft. I met through Discord. Lots of LGBT activity on VRChat. All this chart is saying is more people talk to strangers online than offline, I guess. Is that shocking? It's a chance to find people outside your physical bubble.

So, I think this chart is missing important details that lead to bad conclusions. Like, you could even meet at hobby events.
