*ironically rates OP as winner*
And uh, idk. A lot of the ratings can be used sarcastically. It's all in context.
Though I just realized again that the ratings add up to a total score.
Which is kinda silly.
But eh, it depends on the person. I think it's used by a majority with sincerity.
Maybe we can follow Tumblr and make a gold star "You Tried" rating ehe
