How can you tell ratio? I don't use Xitter, and have no idea what those symbols mean.

Musk's tweet has about 200 retweets and 2.4k 'hearts' (likes), Ubisoft's has 1.9k retweets and has 9.2k hearts. Therefore, nearly 5x the number of people have interacted with Ubisoft's tweet. A 'ratio' of 5:1.

Edit: Guess that's closer to 4:1, regardless, ratio.

Wait... Is Twitter the source of the "get ratiod" calloquialism?

It's also the source of "L+ratio", because you had an "L" take (loser take as opposed to a W take) and the ratio is there to "prove" it .

I believe it's likes (the heart icon) to replies (the chat bubble icon). Usually there are way, way more likes than replies: the ubisoft comment in the screenshot has 9,200/408 which is about 23. The middle comment has 2,400/318 which is about 8. Guessing that's unusually low.
