ratio

What does ratio mean?

On social media, when a reply to a post gets far more likes than the post itself — a sign the crowd sided against the original poster. To "ratio" someone is to bury their take this way.

"His hot take got ratioed within minutes."

Origin

From the reply-to-like ratio on Twitter/X becoming a marker of a badly received post.
