True Adjusted Ratio

The ratio of upvotes awarded to a commenter compared to upvotes awarded to an original poster (OP) weighted for each user's follower count. TAR adjusts for engagement for both parties. True Adjusted Ratio is calculated as follows:

TAR = (Folₒₚ)/(Fol꜀) x (UV꜀)/(UVₒₚ), where a value >1 is considered a "W"

Strengths:
- TAR reflects the true impact of a comment in unbalanced interactions. Comments with fewer followers are augmented, further amplifying OP's humiliation.

- It is possible for a commenter with fewer followers than OP to have fewer upvotes than OP and still obtain a "W".

Limitations:
- True Adjusted Ratio assumes followers of each account are supportive. It does not take into account "hate-followers".
- TAR fails to take virality into account. A comment is more likely to receive engagement during the time when a post is most viral, after which engagement in both original post and comment deteriorate at different geometric rates.
- TAR calculation does not account for downvotes or tertiary responses. While TAR is a more accurate measure in social media spaces with upvote-only rating systems (e.g. Twitter), ratio calculations may be redundant in spaces which use an upvote/downvote system (e.g. Reddit). Tertiary reactions that are ambiguous (e.g. Facebook) are not factored into this calculation.
- "Premium account" algorithms (such as Elon Musk's blue-check model on Twitter) artificially alter views, skewing engagement in favor of paid subscribers.
True Adjusted Ratio: TAR
OP: Original Post
Folₒₚ: Followers of OP
UVₒₚ: Upvotes for OP
Fol꜀: Followers of commenter
UV꜀: Upvotes for commenter

If a user with 100 followers (Folₒₚ = 100) receives 40 upvotes (UVₒₚ = 40) and a comment from a user with 1000 followers (Fol꜀ = 1000) receives 50 upvotes (UV꜀ = 50), traditional calculation would consider OP "ratioed" using traditional calculation:

R = UV꜀/UVₒₚ = 50/40 = 1.25
R > 1, thus OP would be ratioed

However, since OP's follower count is 1/10th that of the commenter's, the True Adjusted Ratio (TAR) is calculated as follows:

TAR = (Folₒₚ)/(Fol꜀) x (UV꜀)/(UVₒₚ) = 100 / 1000 x 50 / 40 = 0.1 x 1.25 = 0.125,
TAR < 1, thus OP would not be ratioed.

"True" Love

It begins with the most mundane scenario, something so typical its origins could seem minuscule. But as it grows and develops it becomes a part of you and once it starts its almost like the creation of a building or structure. Depending on your architectural experience and elements you have to make it, is how it may turn out. someone could build ""True" Love" into something very unplanned, successful, and quickly that could physically resemble something that of a radio tower or with planning, experience and proper elements, into something that could be beautiful and last a very long time, maybe a building alike the burj khalifa? there are many buildings to be built but it is very important where you build them and build them to adapt. Its not exactly the smartest idea to build a two hundred story building in the middle of the ocean. So take love as a lesson, blessing and curse because love is something replaceable if you do it wrong.
