I thought the "Web Dark Ages" refered to people imagining us looking back on it in 20 years and finding it had dissapeared with only a tiny fraction of it archived. Under that definition the web dark ages ended when web archival services started to save snapshots of a majority of sites.

Most stuff is still not saved though. Sure, we might have a semi complete archive but it's not possible to archive the complete experience of e.g. old youtube.
