It's not like we have any actual statistics that indicate it actually is more prevalent. We're comparing this forum's hazy recollection of The Old Days to this forum's anecdotal experience of what people on Tumblr are saying.

+1, I don't think it's so much more prevalent as more visible.

Also, just generally, there are more people.

More people period (there are over a billion and a half more people on Earth than in 1999), but more people on the internet (from almost 40 million in 1995, to 670 million in 2002, and to 2.7 billion in 2013) and more people in fandom.

I think the transition from sandboxed forums to big social media where we pretend that tags offer some sort of boundaries has really transformed the nature of flaming and harassment. Before, fights were limited to a few hundred, maybe a few thousand subscribers at most. Now, social media brigading and pile-ons can pull in several thousand participants with a click.
