Doesn't that just make it clear that ratios are meaningless?

It just felt really cool when I had an exceptionally good one. :(

Maybe you could feel good about how many people are reading and rereading your fic, even if they're lurkers?

In small fandoms, maybe.

My personal ratio metrics are 100% accurate for the what I will like in a fandom with 50+ fics when also accounting for tags. There have been times I clicked on fic outside my ratio just to see and nope, garbage :(

We clearly like different things. I've never found numbers to be especially accurate regarding which fic I will enjoy. If anything, the stuff and the very top and the very bottom tends to be equally off-putting.

.....Yes, that is how the ratio works? It doesn’t mean the Sherlock fic closest to 100% is the best, I’ll tell you that much if you don’t understand how people use ratios at all.

Things under a specific% and above a specific% suck and should be skipped. There is a ratio in the middle where good and great fic exist. Once you go above the great ratio zone, it is trashfic again.

Out of curiosity, what are your cut-off points for that?

Oh, I'm sorry. Please show me your spreadsheets.

100% accuracy sounds like pure confirmation bias, which means you're either an insufferable wanker or you're trolling.
