What it means
To get ratioed is when a reply to your post racks up far more likes than the post itself, a public sign that the crowd thinks you got it badly wrong. The lopsided count of replies against likes becomes the verdict.
Usage examples
"His hot take got absolutely ratioed, the replies buried it."
"Post that opinion and you will get ratioed within the hour."
"She tried to dunk on everyone and got ratioed before lunch, absolute app carnage."
"Man posted the worst take imaginable and got ratioed into the pavement."
Where it comes from
It comes straight from ratio, the numbers game behind posts and replies. The slang took off on Twitter in the late 2010s, where people started calling it a ratio when a reply got way more likes than the original post. From there, ratioed became the verb for getting publicly cooked by the timeline.
