"This is likely due to increased Hawking radiation — thermal radiation that is theorized to be released from black holes due to the effects of quantum mechanics."

Leaving aside, for a moment, that Hawking radiation is just a "theory" for which not a single piece of evidence has been obtained, Hawking radiation would be increasing only as the black hole gets smaller and smaller...
Not "larger & larger"...

Okay - please explain something to me -

If a black hole gets 'larger' by ingesting more mass,
then it's gravitational pull would increase, right?

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

Can the adjectives 'Big' and 'Small' be accurately used to describe black holes?
I guess you must be more descriptive of the context.
Eh?
