I'd be interested in any discussion at all on the amount of useful material out there (on the Web) and how it is changing. It is a fact that there are more and more reliable sources posted that can be used to create articles. This is a factor that affects directly what actually gets written, as opposed to what potentially might be a topic to write about.
I think we just don't know how much will be around in 2025 that could support our work, either in the form of public domain reference material, or respectable scholarly webpages to which we can link. Extrapolations leaving out this factor aren't worth as much as they might be.
