What does it mean to get ratioed on TikTok?
As TikTok has continued to dominate digital culture, we have had to get used to a lot of different phrases and lingo that have been adopted by users on the app. The latest word that seems to have spread over the app is ratio. As with any online lingo, like accountant or FYP, the meaning of ratio on TikTok is a little different to how we use the word in everyday life. If you have been ratioed on TikTok, it usually means that your comment has more replies to it than it has likes. This usually means that there are more people disagreeing with your comment than there are people agreeing with it.

I have never seen a tiktok ratio so horrendous https://t.co/MCqrsbl7Ss   (@HONEYUNGSEO) June 20, 2021  Being ratioed also applies if a reply to your comment has more likes than your original comment, or if a TikTok has more comments than it does likes. The term ratioed comes from another Gen Z-populated social media platform: Twitter. If you Tweet something that proves to be unpopular, you might find yourself getting more Quote Tweets from people disagreeing with and/or mocking you than you do likes. If this happens to you, well, its safe to assume that youve been ratioed. Not always. To make things more confusing, there is more than one way the word ratio is used on TikTok. Sometimes, a user might comment on a TikTok saying ratio me 1:1. This means that that they want the likes on their comment to match the likes of the TikTok theyre commenting on. So, if a TikTok has 1,000 likes, the users comment will need to also have 1,000 likes in order to achieve a 1:1 ratio.

If, for example, a user comments: Ratio me 1:1:1, this means that they want their comment as well as the reply to their comment to have the same number of likes as their original TikTok.
