Yes the stats don’t lie. But I was wondering about this.
The web is increasing - total number of sites and pages on the web.
There is an assumption there that the blog readers at this site have stopped reading all blogs. It is possible that there are more blogs and these readers have started reading these. We need more stats to prove the assumption.
Thus it could mean that still more people are reading blogs but with the acceptance of the medium they have diversified into other blogs.
The very nature of blogs tends to encourage people to start their own blog and with 24 hours in a day only their time could be short.

I don’t really agree with the whole “web ranking by link back” determination, though. My blog, which has a decent amount of readers (I’ll even go as far as to say it’s fairly popular) and less than before, but still a fair amount of commenters, with the advent of feed readers, has dropped significantly in “ranking”.
Unless I am mistaken, Technorati and Alexa both determine your ranking by how many people link to you. I’ve noticed that bloggers often don’t link to other “regular reads” in a traditional blogroll anymore, nor do people use trackbacks as much as a before, so naturally the ranking is going to decline.
Instead, people often read via feed, which while convenient and I really enjoy them myself, it makes it seem like a blog is doing poorly or declining in traffic, which is often not the case. It’s unfortunate that advertisers and others put so much stock in Technorati status.
