And I have already seen some people advocating for Putin say that if you compare Putin with Hitler you've lost.

What this also implies is that the more one's actions resemble actions of Hitler the easier it would be to win over opponents in discussion because they will inevitably come up with this comparison

Once upon a time, in the early internet, invoking Hitler in an argument was always hyperbole and a sign you'd run out of arguments.

Those days are behind us.
