So who is correct here? And why is the hole colder when its larger and has more mass?

The greater pressure restricts particle vibration. (vibration = heat). As the mass lessens, the particles are free to vibrate more quickly.

Just my theory 🙂
 
"Temperature" when talking about black holes is different from our normal conception of it. Its more a measure of entrophy. My WAG why a black hole is colder is that evaporation goes up as the square of the radius as it is directly proportional to Surface Area which mass goes up as the cube of radius as it is proportional to the volume. Thus, the evaporation/mass decreases as holes get bigger so they are "colder"
