There is no tipping point. The premise of a tipping point means you're still thinking about category instead of degree.
Also, when we say degree, we don't mean the degree to which the definition fits. That's a boring discussion. We simply mean the degree to which it's a problem.
Twitter, to the extent that it's being used as a propaganda network by CCP bots, which it is, is a big problem for us.
A small blog being used for propaganda... not such a big problem.
That's the difference that you're missing. The scale and scope is different. Therefore the extent to which they're important is different.

Quite the opposite. I've asked about degree the entire time. "Opinion" does not mean the same thing as "Propaganda," but the scale of the former could transform it into the latter.
What's the degree here? That's what I'm asking.

This is dismissive. If you want to discuss things in good faith, please avoid language like this. You're refusing to engage with an aspect of my reply - and that's fine - but don't pretend my thought are meaningless or boring as a response.
You entered a conversation and started calling my points boring and meaningless; I don't sense you were looking for productive conversation from the get-go.
