Hypothesis: the amount of new "live" internet is the same as it has been for decades, but the amount of fake internet generated has grown exponentially, making the percentage of fake internet ever-higher. Live internet is (by definition) much more labor-intensive than fake internet, so the ever-accelerating pace of computing makes this virtually guaranteed, even without advances in software for generating fake internet (which we certainly have also had).

Not sure if I believe this hypothesis yet, just putting it out there.
