While I agree that the internet should be a catalyst for Harbatzas HaTorah, the fact is that it is not being utilized much.

Also, I seriously doubt that there much Torah today compared to the recent past.

Nearly every yeshiva I know (Admittedly, only a handful.) has lowered their standards since the last decade. Roshei Yeshiva openly encourage their bochurim that six hours a day is full time learner.

Baal Habattim looking up practical halacha online is not the Limud HaTorah that guarantees our protection. Even women are obligated to know practical halacha.

Many in-person shiurim and kollelim never restarted after covid. I doubt there is more daily learning today than a generation ago. It is much less common for people to have an uninterrupted hour on their schedule.

In sum, available content does not make more Torah actually being Learned.
