What i wonder is. What constitutes a thin site then? 5-10 posts? Or does making a certain amount of posts like lets say 100+ keeps me safe? What actionable information can i get from this?
Makes me wonder what the internet would look like had Google favored big brands from the beginning.
Would major retailers and news organizations have had their business models challenged/overturned?
Would Amazon have had the exposure to become what it is?
How about Huffington post and other news sources?

The number of posts or articles on your site is completely ill-relevant to Google and that's not how they determine if you're a brand or not. What they view as a brand is pretty laid out in the info graphic. Go back and re-read it. If you still don't get it read it again.
Is backlinking and cocitation the right answer? For example, on your backlinking efforts (arbitrarily) 40% links with your brand name as anchor, 40% to your url, and 20% to everything else?
Why don't you stop thinking about formulas for anchor text and just use anchor text that a READER might find useful and click on.
This is why in a way I think google is right, despite me fucking hating them for lowering one of my sites.
The internet is for PEOPLE, made by PEOPLE, for PEOPLE. Except we've (SEOs) all forgotten about that.
Google KNOWS if people click on your link or not, and that's probably how they rank your link. By thinking in terms of maths formulas you are just reducing the likelyhood of anyone clicking on it!
