The answer is, when people started announcing bombs.

I've been on the forums for about 8 years or so (predominately here, and before that, CS). I think some bombs have always been announced (since I've been active). Here, I can say that's definitely the case. Organize the Bombs Forum by date in descending order and you'll see "announced bombs" within the first week of CA's creation. I really don't want to go back to the other place to do further research.

Is the percentage of bombs that are announced higher than before? Probably. But to an extent, some bombs have always been announced, here at CA anyway.

I could say more, but I keep deleting what I type...that usually means I shouldn't post it. I urge others to do similarly.
