Of course, it takes way way way less than 90% to manipulate what we talk about and what we perceive in a powerful way. And it doesn't even require malevolence. Social media produces out-of-reality samples.

if it turned out that, like, 90% of twitter interactions were just bots and we 10% didn't know it. Then cut to some malevolent asshole laughing maniacally in the background with a comic book bubble that said, "hahahaha you all were the easiest to control." Creepy, right?

Tbh, most Twitter arguments are so dumb that 1. we could just as easily be arguing with a bot, and 2. most of us don't care, because convincing actual human beings that we're right isn't really the point of a dumb Twitter argument.
