Ratio
The ratio is a tongue-in-cheek rule-of-thumb method of judging how popular a Twitter post is, by comparing the number of replies and/or quote retweets to likes.
A comment that has many replies but few likes is judged likely to be unpopular and the replies are likely those expressing disapproval.[38][39][40] Another common form of ratio is when a reply or quote retweet (typically expressing an opposing viewpoint to the original post) gets more likes than the post it is replying to, signifying that more people agree with the reply than the original post.
Twitter users may "initiate" a ratio by replying or quote retweeting a tweet with the text "ratio" in the hopes that their tweet acquires more likes and/or retweets than the tweet being replied to. They may not always succeed; a "ratio" tweet that does not achieve this is known as a failed ratio or flop.
