I think the key here is not the % accounts that are bots, it's the % of interactions performed by bots in political threads that matters. Especially in threads by leftist "thought leaders".

The number of actual, live people whose tweets are seen in this threads is astonishingly low. Dissenting views are shadowbanned and once you get an eye for it, you realize how few of those thousands of leftist lapdogs in the thread are real, live human beings.

I don't know if this has improved with the changes in the past few weeks, but it was bad enough that anyone I knew who was able to spot the bots (they're disturbingly good now) couldn't stand it any longer.
