I meant to mention this in the previous post but ratio'ing, in addition to manufacturing consensus, also has the added benefit of demoralizing the other side.
If someone sees a troon say something retarded and it gets 67,000 Retweets in an evening, and all the people arguing against that retarded thing the troon said are getting almost no engagement, it triggers a "maybe I'm the one in the minority here - maybe I'm wrong" mental response that demoralizes the other side.
Reinforced Consensus for the in-group, demoralization for the out-groups.
