Jeopardy Twitter Handle Announces This Week's Guest Host Is Bullshit Peddler, Dr. Oz. Gets Rightfully Ratioed
- Thread starter DrForester
- Start date
Comment / like ratio. More comments than likes equals bad or something
Ratio
basically you write that word and if you get more likes on your post than the original post then you ratioed them
it's fucking stupid
If your post something dumb, and then your post has 63 likes but 4,000 comments, you got ratio'd. It's shorthand for 'everyone thought your post was trash'.
That's not what ratio is, but it is funny that you deem it stupid despite not understanding it.
A Twitter post is "ratio'd" when it has more comments than likes. "Likes" are the most low-level interaction a Twitter user can have with a post - and, therefore, it's usually the highest metric in any given post.
A ratio'd post, however, is one that people purposefully didn't "Like", and instead chose to leave negative comments on. If your post is ratio'd, you fucked up.
I don't think that's right.
My understanding is, if your Tweet has more replies than likes, it's been "ratio'd".
Its a way of saying the response to something was more negative than positive. The "ratio" of negative comments outweighs any positive response.
An account tweets something that is controversial (e.g., Dr. Oz hosting Jeopardy)
People who don't like Dr. Oz outweighs those gullible elderly folks who don't have Twitter accounts
Instead of likes, many more people comment negatively about the tweet (e.g. 500 likes to 2.5k comments)
If comments are greater than likes then it has been ratioed.
I almost wonder if the producer looks at the ratio and thinks: "hmmm we can leverage this so more people will watch us."
Incredibly shameful if it is the case.

yes, but that's not what that post was saying. That definition was not one I'd heard, so I was wondering if I had it wrong all this time.
Couric's last episode was never aired here due to March Madness overwriting the time slot. Hopefully all of Oz's episodes get a similar treatment.
im to lazy to post it but Biden posted him walking like he does every week and someone write "I'm tired of seeing these n walking every week" and his post got more likes than Biden's post and he made another tweet saying "I ratio'd the president"
let's just say there are many interpretations for ratio
The only reason he's getting this guest host time is because Sony produces both his show and Jeopardy.
This crowd ain't a fan of the man, as you can see, so it might be good to if give a summary for why it's "really interesting".
Interestingly, you got dogpiled, which is ResetEra's "ratioed" equivalent.
I mean yes there are many incorrect interpretations
that person was also using it incorrectly
So, that person got it wrong, and now you're getting it wrong. Please refer to this thread for the correct definition.
It's like you saying, "Well one time a person on Twitter said that the State of Kansas is named after the band Kansas, so I'll start spreading that around"...I mean, it's not really one of those "many interpretations" things. The state of Kansas is actually not named after the band.
That's an incorrect use of the term. "ratio'd" means a very specific thing, which Brazil summed up accurately.
I thought Katie Couric was fine. I'm looking forward to Anderson Cooper though.
No reason whatsoever to not have Levar Burton on.

No the Jeopardy producer who guest hosted after Ken Jennings.
"The website Science-Based Medicine goes even further, claiming: "No other show on television can top The Dr. Oz Show for the sheer magnitude of bad health advice it consistently offers, all while giving everything a veneer of credibility."
Is this the Wikipedia version of being ratio'd?

Yep. Still disappointing they'd put a guy like him on Jeopardy.
