Is there truly a growing number of them? From my perspective the number of flerfs has constantly gone done over the years, and only the hard core is left and making noise.
There's absolutely nothing to flat earth. None of the flerfs' experiments is proving anything they say, on the contrary, more often than not their experiments prove the earth to be spherical and the globe model to be correct.
What these people usually don't understand is the sheer size of the planet - and how small a single human is compared to that.
There's also the problem that the flerfs are so far down the rabbit hole that they can't go back. Usually they simply cannot and will not accept that they are wrong, so they bend the reality in a way that it fits their beliefs. This goes especially for things they don't understand (of which there are many), and the prime example of this is their denial of gravity.
