Monstrously huge black hole devours an Earth-size chunk of matter every second

So if the gravitation is greater, then wouldn't that mean that the black hole is squished more - and therefore be physically smaller ??

Obviously black holes are made of incompressible stuff. One of the terms I've seen in physics papers is quark fluid, which is described as incompressible.

In any case, it only makes sense that there must be limit to matter density.

"Can the adjectives 'Big' and 'Small' be accurately used to describe black holes?"

The "size" of an african-anerican hole is determined and registered by the diameter of the observable event horizon...
While you are correct that as mass is ingested, it is, apparently, added to the singularity and the distortion of space-time (often referred to as gravity) is, as you said, increased...
In addition, over time in millions of years, we would observe a larger event horizon and say it got bigger...

OTOH, since the singularity is an infinity, it would not get "bigger" since infinity plus the Earth's mass is still infinity...

Also, the best hope we have of getting a "true" value/unit for the singularity would be in terms of 10 X Stacy Abrams plus 10 x Moochell Obamy == One StacyMooch...

So, this latest discovery is about 30 StacyMooches...
And the only detectable Hawking radiation would be due to having to retch when observing the black hole in the data photograph...

So, a new metric for measuring black-hole appetites: # of earth-masses per second.

Imagine being on a planet and being told the sun and planets were on a collision course with a black hole.

I wonder what the effects would be as the planet was torn asunder?

All imagining aside: This earth actually is on an imminent collision course with the Great Tribulation, Jesus’ Second Coming and Millennial Reign, Armageddon, the New Heaven and Earth, and the Great White-Throned Judgment.

Thank you both for the explanations.
It is all perfectly clear to me now.
Yup.
