Twitter thread with Andrew Tate starting: "I am in Special Housing Unit (SHU). My water faucet is broken. I am not allowed bottles of water in SHU. I have nothing clean to drink. My only water comes from the shower, warm and from a brown and filthy faucet. It has given me persistent stomach problems. The water I am", it's then cut off with a 'show more' link. Derek Guy responds: "you sound like an 'in cell'". Spartak: "But can you ratio him this time". Derek: "don't know, but I can walk out of my room".

    Get significantly more reaction/likes/upvotes to your reply than their original comment did.

    Greater ratio of likes vs them.

    My understanding is that it’s the original comment’s retweet/reply ratio. At least it used to be.

    Originally, yes; but language evolves.

    Additionally, some people will attempt to "ratio" a tweet themselves. This entails a person showing up under a disagreeable tweet and betting that their post will receive more favorable statistics than the original post.

    what people haven't mentioned, I don't think, is the original intent of the phrase to "get ratio'd" was to have more people reply to your tweet than like it. As it's significantly more effort to write a reply than to hit like it usually indicated the person had said something foolish and people were rushing to correct them rather than simply like the tweet
