No, the definition does not depend on whose opinion you solicit.
Link farms are distinguishable from directories in that the intent of the former is to provide a massive quantity of Inbound Links (IBLs) so as to manipulate the SEs organic/natural listings rankings.
If you spend money on buying IBLs from link farms, unless the traffic such brings justifies the cost, you are wasting it.
If you have too many OBLs pointing to link farms, you risk being de-indexed.
