When I see the "real" numbers ...
I like to see real numbers: These are derived by various sources from SEC filings (filed under penalty of law).
I think these sort of numbers are *possibly* good indicators of general trends in commerce (sans the stock market stuff included here).

MATCH GROUP INC, Communication Services, Large Cap ($41.41B) <that's some funny shit really -- keep reading ... `cap` is referring to the total stock value and not the business's net worth.

Match Group, Inc. provides dating products worldwide. The company's portfolio of brands includes Tinder, Match, Meetic, OkCupid, Hinge, Pairs, PlentyOfFish, and OurTime, as well as a various other brands. The company was incorporated in 1986 and is based in Dallas, Texas.

Match, and to a lesser degree, social media, are possibly interrelated.
Bumble is also a dating oriented website.

Note TripAdvisor Inc. (TRIP) as far as travel interest read the data and make your own conclusions ...

If you look closely at the Quarters ending in March 2020 and 2021 you can see the cash flow squeeze.

Not sure what's with Estonia but I think that may be dating network sellers/affiliates --seems strange. COVID-19 data:
{"country":"Estonia","cases":131963,"todayCases":81,"deaths":1271,"todayDeaths":0,"recovered":128177,"active":2515,"critical":5,"casesPerOneMillion":99409,"deathsPerOneMillion":957,"totalTests":1590902,"testsPerOneMillion":1198447},
 
Modern conditions=modern rules.
