Definition of «ratio»

"Ratio" refers to a situation on social media where a reply or a related post receives significantly more engagement, such as likes or shares, than the original post it is responding to. This phenomenon is often used as a metric of public opinion, suggesting that the original poster's take is unpopular or incorrect compared to the responder's. Achieving a ratio is considered a form of digital victory or a way to show collective disagreement without needing a lengthy argument. In the context of fan communities, it can also describe a post gaining massive traction relative to the general expectations of the platform.
