So, using your figures (even though figures like 3:1 are not specific enough), 25% (3:1) of 250 million U.S. users add up to 62.5 million. Almost the popular vote total of President Trump in 2016 (62,980,160). So I guess I'll have to lean on you that that number is not important, since you're "The internet is something I am expert in".
Do some research and discover how much of that use is the trading/posting of news articles and you will be edified.
