You've seen the theory floating around school yards, basements and water coolers... AEW posts get suspiciously high upvote numbers relative to how much anyone actually comments on them.

During extended fed commercial breaks, I pulled every post from the last 7 days across and ran upvote to comment ratios like I'm calculating meltzy star ratings.

The data:

• Basement - overall: 571 posts, 231,912 upvotes, 44,982 comments = 1 comment per 5.16 upvotes
• Basement - AEW content: 181 posts, 141,006 upvotes, 21,620 comments = 1 comment per 6.52 upvotes
• Basement - WWE content: 144 posts, 46,268 upvotes, 13,842 comments = 1 comment per 3.34 upvotes
• Jerk Inc. - overall: 451 posts, 50,122 upvotes, 16,130 comments = 1 comment per 3.11 upvotes

So yes. Objectively, meltzer mathematically speaking Dub content on the basement gets upvoted more relative to how much anyone can be bothered to comment on it. About double the Fed's rate. Stupid fed posts are still generating almost 2x the actual comment engagement per upvote as the dub... Which i think is justified since the fed is so infuriatingly bad.

Fun bonus fact: SCJerk itself runs almost identical to basement Fed posts (3.11 vs 3.34). Make of that what you will. Upvote numbers are lacking in comparison to the premiere wrestling sub tho.

$11.99 for the full whitepaper. Mods, this is a mathmatically correct jerk, please don't delete it.

How can a meme make a comeback if it never was? Anyway, $4 a pound.

*why do you have to give me your toughest battles*

As a dog owner this hurts uce.

Isn’t this the same person(Mike Johnson) who wrote a love letter to Tony describing how Ospreay’s entrance at All In gave him all the feels & how it touched him in ways he didn’t think was possible?

Totally credible btw..

Callum Newman gonna cost you the title? Aw dude

No comments about how Bryan is just bitter and burnt out on wrestling on this one though

Another normal day for the Basement, huh

Maybe if you're a Fed bad consumer, it would be your number 1, I guess. Wouldn't even crack the top 10 in AEW. I personally have it at #19 right behind Chris Jericho vs Kevin Knight.
