How is the sin in Israel more serious this time than previously?

Juges 10:6 (NEG79)

6 Les enfants d'Israël firent encore ce qui déplaît à l'Eternel; ils servirent les Baals et les Astartés, les dieux de Syrie, les dieux de Sidon, les dieux de Moab, les dieux des fils d'Ammon, et les dieux des Philistins, et ils abandonnèrent l'Eternel et ne le servirent plus.

Generally in the days of the judges, it is said that Israel worshipped other gods, especially the Baals and the Ashtaroth (Judges 2:12–13), that is, the gods of Canaan.

In the days of Gideon, we read that the Israelites did what was evil in the sight of the Lord. This time, however, the Israelites serve a greater variety of false gods, namely, the gods of more nations around them.
