guy who Ratio'd Andrew Tate cant stop winning

[u/FormerlyShawnHawaii]

[u/Infrastation]

Ok, no one is actually answering the question, does an American have to pay an Italian speeding ticket from a year ago? What's the worst that could happen? It seems like an interesting question.

[u/leesfer → u/Infrastation]

I have experience in this!

I got speeding tickets from camera lights in France, which I chose to ignore, because why not? What could happen?

I ended up going back to Europe 5 years later and they still remember and I am permanently banned from renting cars all around Europe (yes, outside of France, too.)

The other commenters seem to think they'll stop you at the airport but they wont.

[u/gandalf_el_brown → u/leesfer]

all around Europe (yes, outside of France, too.)

The power of the European Union.

[u/MadAsTheHatters → u/gandalf_el_brown]

Nothing slower stronger than EU bureaucracy 💪 🇪🇺

[u/LotharVonPittinsberg → u/MadAsTheHatters]

The only power known to force Apple to be consumer friendly.

[u/its_an_armoire → u/LotharVonPittinsberg]

As an American, I always knew European consumer protections were stronger, but it didn't hit me until I saw Apple bend a knee and move to USB-C. I was in awe.

Decades of corporate lobbying has watered down our expectation of getting enforcement and compliance on this side of the pond.

[u/grathad → u/its_an_armoire]

What you call lobbying is actually legalized corruption.

[u/ThatWasNotMyName → u/grathad]

Exactement!

[u/DrSafariBoob → u/grathad]

So many seem really proud of how corruptible they are.

[u/Tomagatchi → u/grathad]

Land of the Oligarchs. It's what this country was founded on.

[u/aguynamedv → u/its_an_armoire]

As an American, I always knew European consumer protections were stronger, but it didn't hit me until I saw Apple bend a knee and move to USB-C. I was in awe.

Comparative to the EU's current laws, American privacy and consumer protection are effectively nil.

[u/Raisenbran_baiter → u/aguynamedv]

Omg I'm actively studying this in class and it boggles the mind

[u/Ossius → u/aguynamedv]

New FTC is doing a bunch of amazing things though.

We outlawed non-compete agreements which is more progressive than EU. We just cracked down on ISP junk fees and introduced a "Nutrition Label" for TV/Internet/Phone plans that looks amazing.

This page shows some examples:

Here's Where to Find Verizon and AT&T Broadband Facts For Plans (droid-life.com)

[u/Sephy88 → u/its_an_armoire]

It always baffled me how Apple dominates the US market despite their shitty anti-consumer practices. It's even more puzzling how it somehow managed to brainwash a portion of your population into bullying the people who do not have iPhones.

[u/LumpySpacePrincesse → u/its_an_armoire]

Brussells effect is really something. But their new bottle lids are a pain in the balls, have me drinking like trump double handing water down his gullet.

[u/Deutsche_Wurst2009 → u/LumpySpacePrincesse]

Just rip them off if you want to it’s not that hard

[u/ShiftBMDub → u/LumpySpacePrincesse]

My wife actually loves them

[u/not_ya_wify → u/LotharVonPittinsberg]

And to force Facebook to erase photos of you posted by other people that you don't consent to being there, as well as making it illegal to require Facebook users to use their real name.

[u/dumbass_comments_bro → u/LotharVonPittinsberg]

Brazil too, although EU does it constantly for more things

[u/hgwaz → u/MadAsTheHatters]

The slowness is actually an intentional feature. Elect trump over Harris and he'll immediately fuck up the country for four years.
Orban and his party Fidesz fucked up Hungary. Poland got started on it too with their previous administration.

But a couple bad elections in the EU isn't gonna ruin everything because it just takes a long time to dismantle all the structures it's built on. Of course there's problems with glacial bureaucracy, but as a safety feature it's important.

[u/Deutsche_Wurst2009 → u/hgwaz]

I never looked at it that way

[u/PenaltyDesperate3706 → u/leesfer]

I rented a car in France and drove to Amsterdam about 5 years ago. Got a speeding ticket from Netherlands in the mail about 6 months after my trip and never paid it. I have since rented cars in France and Italy for the past 3 years without any problems

[u/leesfer → u/PenaltyDesperate3706]

Seems like some countries care less than others, probably also depends on how many tickets you get... I had 5 outstanding.

[u/bob1689321 → u/leesfer]

You do know those speed limit signs are in KM/H and not MPH right? ;)

Edit: I'm just making a fun joke at the idea of an American getting 5 speeding tickets because they misunderstood some signs. Stop taking this so seriously lmao

[u/leesfer → u/bob1689321]

Ha, France just has a lot of fuckery with speed limit changes and speed cameras on the Autoroutes

[u/Ongr → u/leesfer]

Oh yeah. Speed limit is 90, unless it rains when it is 80! Aaaannd... NOW the speed limit is 30! Slow the fuck down! *click*! Get ticketed, putain!

[u/chromic → u/bob1689321]

I've definitely driven 30mph in a 30 zone on a narrow mountain road in Italy and locals sped past me, so honestly I'm not sure what unit is correct.

[u/lunariki → u/leesfer]

FIVE speeding tickets as a TOURIST is absurd. You couldn't pry information that embarrassing from me if you had me and my family at gunpoint.

[u/LotharVonPittinsberg → u/leesfer]

I had 5 outstanding.

You know that those signs are the limit, not the minimum, right?

[u/lMyOpinionsl → u/leesfer]

i guess every experience is different and things change but i had a travel partner not allowed to leave the airport (technically enter the country) until they paid their ticket. this was early-mid 2000s in the netherlands

[u/kelldricked → u/leesfer]

Fyi: europe is becoming more strict on shit like this. Especially after brexit we have become more active in sharing information and helping eachother out.

I know that if you have open fines in the netherlands that you cant enter the netherland until you pay them. They will take you apart and give you a choice: pay there or book a flight back.

[u/chasing_blizzards → u/Infrastation]

If you don't want to return to Italy, not much from what I've heard, they call you a few times and you ignore them and then you just don't enter that country again

[u/ScotiaTailwagger → u/chasing_blizzards]

Pretty much this. You're not allowed to re-enter the country because you have outstanding fines committed in that country.

If you have no intention on going back to Italy, ever, then don't pay it.

Personally I would because I'm a soft tender bean and also never know if I would want to go back.

[u/random_sociopath → u/ScotiaTailwagger]

Personally Italy is awesome and I’d love to go back, but I’m not everyone.

[u/lawpickle → u/random_sociopath]

Italy was pretty cool, but I have no intention of returning. Not that I didn't think it was amazing (spent 2 weeks there), but with my limited time, I'd rather have new experiences, especially considering I don't have any family or roots there.

Although, I guess I would definitely go to Scotland, again, so maybe I just didn't love Italy as much! :)

[u/127-0-0-1_1 → u/lawpickle]

I don’t think you’ve anything even close to the entirety of Italy in 2 weeks.

[u/Colton_Landsington → u/ScotiaTailwagger]

Bold of you to assume I could ever afford to travel to Italy and obtain said ticket in the first place.

[u/alarumba → u/Colton_Landsington]

I'm too busy earning money for the bosses trip to pay for my landlord's trip.

[u/KatieCashew → u/chasing_blizzards]

I know someone who has an unpaid ticket from Italy, and he was able to return no problem. I guess they don't send minor traffic violations over to the customs people?

[u/hey_fatso → u/KatieCashew]

I know “someone” who never paid a €40 fine on the Munich S-Bahn (wrong ticket) over twenty years ago. That person has returned to Germany multiple times in the intervening years.

[u/CowMetrics → u/chasing_blizzards]

They sent my ticket to collections a few years back. It hasn’t hit my credit, maybe since it isn’t a us debt? Idk, fuck em. Maybe don’t make it impossible to pay and don’t make it look like a scam

[u/Hehrhrhrhe → u/CowMetrics]

Brb gonna go to Milan, finance a Ferrari, and just sort of leave.

[u/C-tapp → u/Hehrhrhrhe]

Banks have a lot more international power than some local government in Italy.

[u/CowMetrics → u/Hehrhrhrhe]

Haha I wish this was something i had the power and wealth to do

[u/sushirolldeleter → u/Infrastation]

[u/NsaAgent25 → u/Infrastation]

As an American traveler here: In this case it is Italy and as members of the European Union they can carry over to multiple other countries. Odds are they won't bar you from entering the country completely or come for you in America (it is just a ticket). When it comes to something like getting a rental car you may denied until you clear that up or other small things may happen.

[u/JudgeGusBus → u/Infrastation]

This has me wondering about my somewhat similar situation.

I studied in France when I was in college, and so had a French bank account. I knew the date I was leaving so I just ran that account down to a few euros, and they say before I left went to tell them I would be closing the account. Except, they told me there were all kinds of fees to close an account, something like €250. They weren’t overdrafts or anything, but administrative fees. So I told them I would come back with the money, and instead I just flew home the next day. Haven’t been back to the EU since. Never heard a peep. I wonder if I flew back if there would be some sort of collection case against me.

[u/ShiftBMDub → u/JudgeGusBus]

You probably still have the bank account.

[u/sandybuttcheekss → u/Infrastation]

I got one in France and was mailed one like 2 months later. I paid it, because I just know that I'll end up in France again sometime and they'll arrest me for not paying my ticket for idk how many years the second I walk through customs.

[u/GaiusPrimus → u/Infrastation]

I got a parking ticket in Italy for 50 euros. I didn't pay, because of the same thing as people are saying. 2 years later, between fines, court fees and interest I owed 400 euro and I couldn't rent a car anywhere.

[u/Mr_Right_Now__ → u/Infrastation]

It gets bought by American collection companies and hits your credit score

[u/Material_Election685 → u/Mr_Right_Now__]

Do you have evidence that this actually happens to a reasonable extent?

From what I can tell, American credit scores basically ignore foreign debts. And if they try to bring it to court, American judges aren't very particular about enforcing default judgements in other countries made in absentia.

[u/Neuchacho → u/Material_Election685]

This doesn't happen anywhere. A ticket isn't a debt. It's a fine. All the collection agency would be doing is paying your fine and them choosing to pay your fine doesn't mean you owe them anything.

[u/Reztots]

It's always nice to see losers saying dumb shit for engagement getting clowned by randos doing it better

Edit: people are saying the rando is another Tate-like guy. He's still a rando to me. Let them fight

[u/ZoeperJ → u/Reztots]

Some heroes are even on Xitter

[u/prush1977 → u/ZoeperJ]

Would Xitter be pronounced SHID-uhr?

EDIT: The D is for the American pronunciation... Oddly, this is also the title of my sex tape.

Thanks for the award! You're all the best...

[u/iamintheforest → u/prush1977]

I took a Xit in the Musk just this morning after coffee.

(it make sense to me, go with it).

[u/MachineMan73 → u/iamintheforest]

Hope you wiped your Elon afterwards. And it totes makes sense.

[u/Letter-Past → u/MachineMan73]

I hate when I take a huge xit and get Musk water all over my Elon and Reeves

[u/Kind_Eye_748 → u/Letter-Past]

Fuck Musk.

It's Twitter till he stops dead naming his kids.

[u/m55112 → u/Kind_Eye_748]

Remember even HE still calls it twitter in that one post he made about Brazil recently.

edit: here it is

[u/Kind_Eye_748 → u/m55112]

I'd go with the site formerly known as Twitter.

[u/dukeofgibbon → u/Kind_Eye_748]

Fascist safe space

[u/Letter-Past → u/Kind_Eye_748]

He is up there as one of the worst at this point

[u/BloatedManball → u/Letter-Past]

The worst part is when the water splashes up and gets all over your Rowling.

[u/Letter-Past → u/BloatedManball]

Aw xit, this happens to women as well?

[u/ran1976 → u/Letter-Past]

if the xit is big enough

[u/wafflepancake9000 → u/MachineMan73]

Make sure to wipe your Tate too. Tate Xit is the worst.

[u/pyrrhios → u/prush1977]

I say it "shid E ur".

[u/obfuscation-9029 → u/prush1977]

Elon is pro dead naming so you have to call it Twitter

[u/Mister_shagster → u/prush1977]

That's how I say it

[u/fospher → u/prush1977]

“x” is pronounced “sh” in Mandarin Chinese pinyin so, yes.

[u/Guy954 → u/prush1977]

I just say Twitter

[u/Ovrl → u/Guy954]

It’s pretty funny that still today the media will call it X/Twitter or X formerly Twitter etc.. because X is such a terrible name for a company. He could have at least called it tweetX or ChatX or something in line with spaceX since that’s his thing.

[u/Howtomispellnames → u/Ovrl]

I read Elon called it SpaceX because it sounds like Space Sex. Also, see the Tesla models: S, X, Y

le sex huehuehue lel

[u/NatchJackson → u/Ovrl]

My favorite has to be "Twitter, sometimes humorously referred to as X".

[u/garlickbread → u/prush1977]

"Shitter" I think "x" can be used for the "sh" sound but it's more of a "zh" sound

[u/siltfeet → u/garlickbread]

'X' makes a 'sh' sound in Chinese pinyin. Technically, the combination of 'xi' sounds closer to 'she', but I think it still works well enough.

Considering the large Chinese investments in Tesla, it seems like fair game.

[u/code_archeologist → u/ZoeperJ]

Do Elon next

Do Elon next

Do Elon next

[u/OneCactusintheDesert → u/Reztots]

Guys, FYI the dude is an outspoken republican who endorses Trump. He's making fun of "leftist reddit" for praising him so much.

This was basically two different shades of conservatives fighting lmao.

[u/Distant_Yak → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

The guy has a photo of himself trying to look tough in the gym while threatening people online with physical harm. Of course he's a Trump supporter.

[u/Balerion_thedread_ → u/Distant_Yak]

Yeah, I don’t understand how he ratio’d anyone except himself for being cringe as fuck

[u/thewxbruh → u/Balerion_thedread_]

Because people hate Andrew Tate that much lmao

[u/Balerion_thedread_ → u/thewxbruh]

Deservedly so, but yeah, I still don’t understand how he “ratio’d” him by being just as embarrassing

[u/Mikey_RobertoAPWP → u/Balerion_thedread_]

getting ratio'd doesn't have anything to do with the quality of what is said, all it means is that he got more likes/retweets on his response than the original tweet that he replied to. So, even though he is probably just as embarrassing as Andrew Tate he "ratio'd" him because of the large ratio between their two like counts. That's all.

(for the record i think it's a kinda dumb term, but)

[u/Balerion_thedread_ → u/Mikey_RobertoAPWP]

Oh right! Well, turns out I was wrong! Thanks for explaining that haha I thought it was another word for being burned or roasted haha

[u/MysticScribbles → u/Balerion_thedread_]

Because Tate is all about being a strong alpha male, and this guy who's degrees more masculine than him proved it with his reply picture.

Basically comparing a bearded biker looking guy to a guy with male pattern baldness and a lazy eye(and a micro penis).

[u/Eliseo120 → u/Distant_Yak]

Dude just showed that he’s a man child just like Tate. 

[u/HalKitzmiller → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

At the end of the day it's MAGAts throwing shit at each other, just sit back and enjoy

[u/AnonAmbientLight → u/HalKitzmiller]

Let them fight…

[u/GaiusPrimus → u/AnonAmbientLight]

Then kith

[u/FriendOfTheDevil2980 → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

That's why it's extra funny

[u/InevitableHomework70 → u/FriendOfTheDevil2980]

And satisfying. Like a snickers bar.

[u/Archon457 → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

Just like when the Taliban started fighting ISIS I can cheerfully watch from the sidelines with a bucket of popcorn.

[u/StrategicCarry → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

[u/Neuchacho → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

Who would have thought that a group built on hate would turn on its own at the drop of a hat? Truly a surprise.

[u/The_Poster_Nutbag → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

The enemy of my enemy is my friend

You get the idea. This guy hates Andrew Tate, so do we. Simple.

[u/_Smashbrother_ → u/OneCactusintheDesert]

We should support people calling out shitbag behavior, regardless of who they are.

[u/WordNERD37 → u/Reztots]

Any day Dave Portnoy and his shit brand can get dragged through the dirt is a good day to me.

[u/jayforwork21 → u/WordNERD37]

He should stick to Pizza and shup up about anything else (except sports, I don't know enough about them/him to know if a company called Barstool Sports actually does anything involving sports)

[u/TiredEsq → u/jayforwork21]

He reviewed my local place and enjoyed it. It’s trash. That’s all I needed to know about him.

[u/WNBAnerd → u/TiredEsq]

Not surprising. Dave Portnoy is poor taste through and through.

[u/Potato_fortress → u/WNBAnerd]

Dave Portnoy was inspired by Fred Durst to leak his own sex tape and just like Fred Durst: no one cared.

 At least Fred didn’t write a long blog post about how “allegedly” he enjoyed slamming a college co-ed like a meat puppet and he would do it again because he was supposed to be a D1 athlete before he got injured and you need to respect that.

[u/zaz969 → u/Potato_fortress]

Suddenly the highly college focused vibe of his company and everything about that makes sense.

[u/lemoncholly → u/TiredEsq]

All he likes is plain cheese that's so well done its crunchy. Awful pizza. 7 bites everyone knows the rules. A picture of the owner's dad in the shop from 30 years ago gets a +2 to the score everyone knows the rules.

[u/YouStupidAssholeFuck → u/lemoncholly]

I know he's also doing the Miss Peaches stuff for clout but I can't help but find that little doggie endearing. She's living a good life regardless of how much Portnoy is actually around taking care of her. I only wish he'd adopt more. Say what you will about anyone but if they adopt shelter dogs they get at least one point in my book.

Also I can't stand the food waste on One Bite. He gets the pizza, takes a piece and eats it over the entire rest of the pizza. Then after he finishes three or four bites he tosses that piece on top of the pizza and usually throws the whole thing away. Even if he doesn't, the rest of his crew can't even eat that pizza because his gross saliva is all over it. That's just me, though.

[u/_soon_to_be_banned_ → u/WordNERD37]

there are a couple decent people working for him, but overall its a ton of racist new englanders (shocking right) who are posing as sports media/journalists to continue their partying/binge drinking into their late 50s instead of just their 20s

[u/YouStupidAssholeFuck → u/_soon_to_be_banned_]

I've given a lot of their shows a fair shot but all I can really stand is PMT. Just out of curiosity who is are the worst offenders on his staff?

[u/_soon_to_be_banned_ → u/YouStupidAssholeFuck]

the head clown in charge himself dave portnoy is prob the worst. he's a huge spoiled crybaby douchebag who tries to appear as an everyman in his stupid pizza reviews, but you can tell he probably has a butler who all but wipes his ass for him. also, (OF COURSE) the guy has sexual misconduct allegations against him... in general it just seems like part of the company culture to be right wing, okay with bigotry and make sure you dont film when everyone is drunk at the company party/afterparty because theyre constantly joking about whos gonna get cancelled aka they know what they are saying without cameras rolling is bad

i actually enjoy WontonDon's content all that being said. he keeps his opinions and bias out of his vids as much as he can, and when his friends (the red headed dude, pmt and the shorter black haired dude) are with him its really funny as long as they stay off the typical "one joke" kinda shit. they play off each other really well imo

[u/SpeakAgainAncient1 → u/_soon_to_be_banned_]

At least if they all keep it up they won't last long.

Barstool was literally a stack of "metro" sized print newspapers stacked on bars in and around Boston at first. I kinda thought it was a cool concept back then and gave an alternative take on sports outside the Globe and Herald, although pretty douchy. It's mind blowing not only how huge this guy's ego became, but also just how much has changed as far as media delivery in society goes.

[u/Grisshroom → u/Reztots]

When I checked he had like 250,000 likes and Barstool had 750. It's probably one of the greatest ratios I've ever seen happen live.

[u/cloudheadz]

Don't promote this guy. He ironically is just another Andrew Tate who peddles conspiracy theories and unhealthy eating and exercise habits.

[u/Username_redact → u/cloudheadz]

He is also a serial sexual assaulter (allegedly) and terrible terrible boss. Not a good guy.

[u/StoicallyGay → u/Username_redact]

I just checked his twitter. It's literally filled with anti-vax tweets. But not like the typical vaccines are dumb ones, but literally Tate-level ego "these fucking vaxxers are idiots LMAOO I'm living amongst clowns" type personality.

Some samples from 2021 because those are pinned or something, idk how Twitter works but they're the first tweets I see.

Pedophiles can still live in neighborhoods, take flights, work in public positions but I can’t eat at a restaurant because I don’t have a vaccine for something that 99% of people survive lmao clown fucking world

kek vaxxed girl in my office who was wearing a mask for the past like 3 weeks got covid again LMFAOO

So far I can tell his egotistical personality is summarized in 3 points:

• Crypto

• Antivax

• Bodybuilding/drugs.

[u/garbagewithnames → u/Username_redact]

Oh sure, but I still think it's fun to see these types eat their own

[u/cloudheadz → u/garbagewithnames]

It is funny, but these guys thrive off attention. More people that interact with their content let's them appear on more feeds and get their grift to a wider audience.

[u/sls35 → u/cloudheadz]

Which one

[u/brother_of_menelaus → u/sls35]

All of them. They all suck

[u/zamarguilea99 → u/cloudheadz]

Put them both in a ring

[u/bigpapijugg → u/cloudheadz]

If we can’t enjoy two tools (possibly more?) tearing each other apart, then what can we enjoy?

[u/NikoliVolkoff]

i am old, WTF does "Ratio'd" mean in this context?

[u/Carrotsandstuff → u/NikoliVolkoff]

It means that the reply got significantly more engagement than the initial post, called a ratio because the likes of the original tweet are a fraction of the likes the response got.

It's my understanding that this is very embarrassing for people who care about that sort of thing.

[u/Jean-Paul_Sartre → u/Carrotsandstuff]

Interestingly you just ratio’d the parent commenter

[u/00-Monkey → u/Jean-Paul_Sartre]

[u/ketosoy → u/Carrotsandstuff]

I’d be very embarrassed to be a person who cares about this sort of thing

[u/ThisisWambles → u/ketosoy]

Nah, it’s the online equivalent of having a stadium of people staring at you like you’re an idiot. Usually happens to racists and propagandists.

[u/godownvoteurself → u/ThisisWambles]

It’s the Twitter equivalent of getting downvoted and someone who replies to you gets upvoted

[u/PlatonicTroglodyte → u/godownvoteurself]

I’ve been on this site for a long time and I don’t recall the last time I saw someone genuinely care about their karma. Disregarding the generic “bring on the downvotes” or “why am I being downvoted” etc., which is really more about a specific comment, I can’t think of a time when anyone has ever cared about their actual karma lol. I’m sure people do, but it’s not really part of mainstream redditing the way it wss back in like 2012 or so.

[u/godownvoteurself → u/PlatonicTroglodyte]

I guess for me its not necessarily about the internet points (though my username might suggest I feel differently lol), its more like, the frustration I feel when I made a good point and not only is no one on my side, they’re actively cheering someone whose reply wouldn’t even exist had it not been for me in the first place. Depends on my mood whether it really bothers me or not. There’s times where I’m livid and times where I just giggle about it.

[u/Loko8765 → u/godownvoteurself]

It’s when I make an important point and somebody replies just rephrasing what I wrote and gets double the upvotes… yeah, well, it happens.

[u/CrumbCakesAndCola → u/Loko8765]

Or if you've already said something but a person replying to you basically repeats the same thing and somehow gets more upvotes.

[u/godownvoteurself → u/Loko8765]

Ooooh hate that

[u/radiosped → u/godownvoteurself]

There is no way to discuss getting downvoted without causing more downvotes. The moment someone accuses someone of whining about downvotes it's over, there is literally no way for the downvoted person to convince people they weren't whining or complaining.

[u/SenoraRaton → u/radiosped]

I just clarify and stick to my point. I naively assume people just don't understand my position hence the downvotes, because a lot of times people just simply won't engage with a thing at all, and knee jerk react to it and move on.
The REAL fun ones are the ones that turn around. I have had posts where my first post was downvote bombed, and everything underneath of it where I explain my position is upvoted. shrug

[u/ThisisWambles → u/PlatonicTroglodyte]

It’s not the points, it’s the social sting. It’s hundreds of people silently saying “fuck off”

[u/enigmaticpeon → u/PlatonicTroglodyte]

Usually when someone says bring on the downvotes, they care. Otherwise why even say it?

[u/Butthenoutofnowhere → u/enigmaticpeon]

"Go ahead and downvote me." Okay.

[u/cerialthriller → u/PlatonicTroglodyte]

Cute coming from someone with under 300k 🤣

[u/vinthedreamer → u/cerialthriller]

Pfff, imagine saying that as someone with only 560,000 karma 🤣🤣

[u/helpmycompbroke → u/cerialthriller]

Does the amount of karma matter or is it the average karma per comment?

If you commented 300k times, you'd have 300k karma assuming no votes, right? But that's objectively worse than 30k karma, but only 100 comments because that would mean people are actually upvoting you.

[u/SiidChawsby → u/ketosoy]

None of these people have shame. It’s fake internet points, but they’re convinced it adds value.

[u/_Project-Mayhem_ → u/SiidChawsby]

I just gave you a fake internet point, enjoy your false value.

[u/DMRT1980 → u/_Project-Mayhem_]

As I did to you, but I blessed it as well.

[u/Saedraverse → u/ketosoy]

So as I understand it ye have the folks that use Ratio'd don't actually care, but the subject of the ratio actually does, so it kinda mocks them. Then on other those folk that do care. Overall is sad that folks give a shite but at least 1 group don't care & just use it to dunk on those they assume do.
...
I suppose would make it sad if both don't care as well.

[u/Nintura → u/ketosoy]

In this case, i think its justified to like it. Tate is a douche and this guys response was fucking amazing

[u/allegate → u/Carrotsandstuff]

It’s devastating. You’re devastated right now.

[u/Arynn → u/allegate]

Oh my gosh. You’ve just reminded me that I never watched the final season of The Happy Place The Good Place (it wasn’t out yet when I watched the show, and I forgot about it until just now!)

It’s been long enough that I think I am just going to restart the show from episode one. But I’m excited…I forgot all about this show and how good it was! Thank you :)

Basically, it's an indicator that the tweet is both controversial and unpopular. If you make your living on social media, that's important to know. If you don't, then it really doesn't matter.

[u/Edg4rAllanBro → u/Carrotsandstuff]

It might also refer to the "ratio" on the post itself, not just between a post and its (specific) replies. For example, if a post got a low reply to likes ratio, maybe like one or two replies to a hundred likes, you can assume it's an uncontroversial post. If your post has maybe 50 replies to a hundred likes, it's probably a pretty controversial post. If it's more replies than likes then it's either an engagement bait post or they're beating your ass in the replies.

I hate the world we live in

[u/NaCl_Sailor → u/NikoliVolkoff]

means to get more likes/retweets per view than the other guy

[u/NikoliVolkoff → u/NaCl_Sailor]

[u/Mr_Stoney → u/NikoliVolkoff]

Porkchop sandwiches!

[u/NikoliVolkoff → u/Mr_Stoney]

YES!!! i had totally forgotten about that. talk about peak YT there. Porkchop Sandwiches are the best.

[u/sleaziestsleaze → u/NaCl_Sailor]

TIL. Thank you very much.

[u/RocksoC → u/NikoliVolkoff]

It's when a reply has more likes, comments, and/or retweets than the original post. It's a potent insult, as it's essentially saying "More people came to your post just to like my comment, than came to your post naturally."

[u/Newtonberger → u/NikoliVolkoff]

In the context of Twitter it usually means a reply or response to another tweet gets more likes than the tweet it is replying to.

[u/LucidMoments → u/NikoliVolkoff]

I am glad you asked so I didn't have to.

[u/NikoliVolkoff → u/LucidMoments]

Just doin my part to keep GenX in the "Loop"

[u/PortlandPatrick → u/NikoliVolkoff]

Thank you for asking. I had no clue either. No one loves you when you're 42.

[u/milkasaurs → u/NikoliVolkoff]

Basically, when a thread gets hundreds of comments, but zero upvotes.

[u/icecubepal → u/NikoliVolkoff]

If you post a topic on Reddit and the topic has more comments than likes. Similarly, if you post something on Twitter and it has more comments than likes or whatever Twitter uses. It typically means people greatly disagree with the original post.

[u/Intergalacticdespot → u/NikoliVolkoff]

I think it tends to mean that it got more comments/re-tweets than likes? Which usually means people made fun of you rather than agreed with you. As I understand it. I'm old too and not enough of a musk fanboy to use that site any more. So I could be wrong. 

[u/imsowhiteandnerdy → u/NikoliVolkoff]

Thanks for asking this BTW, I kinda wonder the same thing every time I hear about twitter ratios.

[u/moderatesoul]

Barstool is such garbage.

[u/BrianSpillman → u/moderatesoul]

Dave Portnoy is the definition of douche bag

[u/mxpxillini35 → u/BrianSpillman]

One punch to the face, everybody knows the rules

[u/brother_of_menelaus → u/mxpxillini35]

Definition of Talk Shit, Then Hide Behind Your Legion of Douchebag Fans When You’re Called Out

[u/Sillet_Mignon → u/mxpxillini35]

Proceeds to punch fifteen times to the face. 

[u/Jazzlike_Drawer_4267 → u/BrianSpillman]

Portnoy is the saddest "food reviewer" I've ever seen and I'm mad people take him seriously. All you need to do is be nice to him and stand over his shoulder while he does his review and he'll praise you to the moon cause he's too much of a chickenshit to be awkward. But if you don't suck his balls he'll also bash you're place to high he'll. He's got the backbone of a cooked noodle.

[u/WNBAnerd → u/Jazzlike_Drawer_4267]

Dave Portnoy is all crust, no sauce.

[u/JohnWad → u/BrianSpillman]

One of the biggest out there.

[u/QueenRotidder → u/BrianSpillman]

ruined all the good pizza joints by me 😡

[u/Nowhereman123 → u/BrianSpillman]

Man I remember calling him a douche on Reddit once and getting absolutely dogpiled by his fanboys (all active in the Barstool subreddit). Certainly didn't improve my opinion of him, let's just say that.

[u/MLBM100 → u/BrianSpillman]

Dave Portnoy is a massive pussy and anyone who thinks otherwise is also a massive pussy

[u/GEARHEADGus → u/BrianSpillman]

Only thing ill give him is he rescued this Pitty Ms. Peaches and that dude LOVES that fucking dog.

[u/AbraxanDistillery → u/moderatesoul]

I've known Barstool sports was garbage since they tried recruiting unpaid writers from amateur comedian Facebook groups. No one seemed to have a problem with it at the time besides me. 

[u/Vegetable_Praline376 → u/moderatesoul]

Dave Portnoy is a performative dickbag. He thinks by dressing like a hobo half the time and being super casual that it makes him relatable. Meanwhile he’s tweeting that Kamala Harris being the candidate is a coup to steal the election while buying himself a 42 million $$ waterfront property.

[u/Professional-Hat-687 → u/moderatesoul]

It is very useful for sitting on tho.

[u/gcrimson]

This is the most "internet fight" of all the internet fights I ever witnessed. A guy who paid for a blue check mark on twitter had his proudest moments by having more likes than a toxic internet celebrity only popular with incels and is now trying to do the same against a website who sustain itself thanks to clickbait articles and ragebait tweets.

Every one who participated in that fight should know that they actively made humanity a little worse.

[u/OhioUBobcats → u/gcrimson]

Yeah there are no winners here

[u/ctaps148 → u/OhioUBobcats]

I think it's fair to say that if you're someone who thinks "getting ratio'd" is significant, you are tragically addicted to social media and should re-evaluate your life choices.

[u/Beezo514 → u/gcrimson]

[u/alt266 → u/gcrimson]

Barstool: posts standard click bait trash that isn't even worth the effort of thinking about

This dweeb: "I'm going to ratio you 🤓" and spreads the article around

Reddit: thinks the whole thing is hilarious (?) and also spreads the article

A lot of energy for a site that people allegedly hate

[u/bobthemonkeybutt → u/gcrimson]

His responses:

• "Look at me, I'm strong!"
• "My reply has more likes than Andrew Tate's! I'll do the same to you!"

How any of this even made it to a reddit post that was upvoted enough to make it r/all is insane. "I'm about to ratio you" is Murdered by Words?? Wtf is happening?

[u/stone_magnet1]

Guy is giving off Tate energy. I'll pass on the whole thing.

[u/OneCactusintheDesert → u/stone_magnet1]

You guys literally fell for the trick. He's basically just a different shade of conservative

[u/dubble_chyn]

Where is the murder?

[u/EatingADamnSalad → u/dubble_chyn]

There is none. Barstool didn't even "attack" this guy. Small dick energy all around.

[u/DominiqueTrillkins → u/dubble_chyn]

I’m so lost too. Him saying he’s going to ratio you is the murder?

[u/0one0one]

I've read it like 5 times and I can't figure out who is saying what to who about what .. and I saw the original response to the Tate tweet

[u/nickthedicktv]

Every time you tweet your dick gets smaller. That’s what happened to Tate. He’s a Ken doll now.

[u/soManyWoopsies → u/nickthedicktv]

By god what happened to Trump then??

[u/nickthedicktv → u/soManyWoopsies]

It was an innie long ago but that’s because of the fupa

[u/PromptStock5332]

Wait, who murdered who in this cringe exchange?

[u/felthouse]

What does ratio'd mean? And how is this a murder?

[u/pedretty → u/felthouse]

It wasn’t. People just hate Tate. As someone who used to fight and is extremely jacked now. Being big doesn’t make you a good fighter. If the guy actually fought Tate. I hate to admit but Tate would like kick the shit out of this guy.

No one will admit that though bc Tate is actually asshole and everyone hates him lmao

[u/bergman6]

Tate who?

[u/tinylittlegnome → u/bergman6]

Uh, Tate R. Tötts? Maybe you've heard of him??

[u/No-Possibility5556]

Media company who covers sports and internet trends shares a story about an internet trend and subject of said trend goes off on them for talking about. Murder by words or sniffing his own farts
