Comment on Visits to piracy websites have increased 12% in the past four years

How much has total web traffic increased in the same time? I feel like the number is meaningless without something to compare it to.
I was curious too and checked the article but skimming it, instead of a total, I found this:
A new analysis from MUSO, a U.K.-based anti-piracy analyst […]
With the study being done by a clearly biased person/group and that large omission, I think it’s fair to assume that the % of total web traffic going to pirates might not have gone up all that much, maybe it even went down.
Am I stupid, or does the article literally address this at no point, just acting like all internet traffic is a zero sum game
Thanks for pulling the data

I can’t think of anything in the last four years that would cause an increase in total web traffic. ~/s~
