Less vs fewer is definitely a mistake made more by native speakers, who may have known the words most of their lives without a defined meaning until later.
This grammar mistake is one of my pet peeves with online chat, and really seems to be getting worse in the last few years.

Weird Al is not a fan either, if his song Word Crimes is any indication.
It’s “less” or it’s “fewer”
Like people who were
Never raised in a sewer
I hate these word crimes
Like I could care less
That means you do care
At least a little
