Lauren Goode: Yeah, so during the pandemic, dating apps expanded, their businesses grew similar to the other online services that we were completely tethered to, like Netflix and Zoom. They're trapped with their partners in their houses and they're dealing with all of their relationship issues, and maybe now it's time for them to branch out, and the safe way to do that feels like signing onto a new kind of app that's going to fulfill a new need that they now understand that they have. In terms of the decline too, it makes sense that at a certain point these apps penetrate the existing dating pool and they will maintain perhaps their user numbers if the product stays good, but they're not going to continue growing exponentially.
