@joel_cardwell I'm really bad at explaining but here goes:

So when a person makes a comment under someone else's comment and that comment gets more likes and engagement than the previous comment, then that person has been "ratioed".

It's good in certain instances but most often than not people use it to as a means to get you looking stupid. Sometimes even when it's uncalled for. And that's the part that that's being abused. And it's annoying.
