Somebody pressed dislike 283 times. I found him... UPDATED

Johnny_SinsJuly 29, 2026stats

950,944 reactions. 23,816 reacting accounts. Here is who applauds everything, who dislikes almost everything, and what the reaction map says about WarEra's rivalries.

I counted the punishments in https://app.warera.io/article/6a67e4f7131604bdadc36b1c. Then I counted the tips money https://app.warera.io/article/6a68a7199d228ed51eb1de3d. Today I counted the applause... the public reaction attached to every WarEra article I could retrieve.

Every like. Every dislike. Including yours.

Especially yours, https://app.warera.io/user/6993085d97126f07addeacee.

Some numbers before the names.

At extraction time, WarEra's accessible articles carried 950,944 reaction records: 881,770 likes and 69,174 dislikes across 36,531 articles.

For scale, the tip ledger from my previous article contained 176,473 transactions. The reaction layer is 5.4 times as large — roughly five reactions for every five-gold tip.

And this is genuine mass participation: 23,816 accounts have reacted to something, almost exactly twice the 11,990 accounts that have ever tipped. You may never have written an article or paid a writer. But you have probably clapped.

Only 7.3% of all reactions are dislikes.

After two ledgers full of sanctions and inequality, I finally have a statistic saying this community is mostly nice.

It will not survive Part II intact.

Part I: The friendliest accounts alive

1. https://app.warera.io/user/69772d9c90a92e6bafe1a4c6— 3,084 likes given · 22.7 per day

2. https://app.warera.io/user/6813b75befecdf9bab195337 — 2,301 · we need to talk about https://app.warera.io/user/6813b75befecdf9bab195337

3. https://app.warera.io/user/6977b56bdfb35c158dfb7b9e — 2,019 · about 11 per day

5. https://app.warera.io/user/697b55e4bcecf3b37667e0d1— 1,833 · yes, me. I like things. Sue me.

6. https://app.warera.io/user/6840719c83d6e0c62c8d1fb3 — 1,769 · the hardest-working author claps too

10. https://app.warera.io/user/691d7aefc66380bdd827820f — 1,676 · the most-muted account is also this generous

https://app.warera.io/user/69772d9c90a92e6bafe1a4c6 presses like 22.8 times a day across the account's recorded lifespan. WarEra has averaged roughly eighty articles a day; his personal pace equals more than a quarter of the game's average daily publishing volume.

Nobody pays him. Nothing compels him. He is the closest thing the newsletter has to a public utility.

And notice who else is here: https://app.warera.io/user/6840719c83d6e0c62c8d1fb3, https://app.warera.io/user/691d7aefc66380bdd827820f, and, regrettably, me names already familiar from the earnings and moderation tables. Some of the same accounts write the press, fund the press, get moderated by the press, and applaud the press.

The economy runs on familiar hands.

Part II: We need to talk about "haters"

I pulled the raw dislike leaderboard expecting villains.

The number-one disliker in WarEra is https://app.warera.io/user/6813b75befecdf9bab195337: 485 dislikes, more than any other account.

https://app.warera.io/user/6813b75befecdf9bab195337 has also given 2,301 likes. His negative share is 17.5%.

https://app.warera.io/user/6813b75befecdf9bab195337 is not a hater. https://app.warera.io/user/6813b75befecdf9bab195337 is one of the most engaged readers in the game.. a one-account review section that simply refuses to pretend everything is good.

The same is true of https://app.warera.io/user/684dc5c55a875f06576385c1: 334 down, 739 up. And https://app.warera.io/user/6889f716063503101cc6b280: 245 down, 885 up.

Volume is not hate. Volume is attention.

A consistently negative reaction mix looks like this:

Highest negative share — minimum 50 reactions

1. https://app.warera.io/user/6993085d97126f07addeacee — 283 down, 9 up · 96.9%

2. https://app.warera.io/user/69da235d843f2d6fdaeb89b1 — 253 down, 25 up · 91.0%

3. https://app.warera.io/user/69b52d94e2ad5ee290ce6619 — 88 down, 12 up · 88.0%

4. https://app.warera.io/user/69e12ad4af97b01a97e167c6 — 48 down, 13 up · 78.7%

5. https://app.warera.io/user/69b6b0b8221ca19684ac6123 — 42 down, 13 up · 76.4%

6. https://app.warera.io/user/69b9272be94a969626509c2a — 38 down, 14 up · 73.1%

7. https://app.warera.io/user/6a4eb3cd6cbc7c81481c986f — 45 down, 19 up · 71.4%

9. https://app.warera.io/user/69a152c2acd5ab212ef245f9 — 38 down, 18 up · 67.9%

10. https://app.warera.io/user/69e29a96afa9145f818fc40a — 172 down, 93 up · 64.9%

Three https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79c accounts in the top eight.

https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79c had perfectly balanced tip books in the money article.. a gap of eight tips across almost 26,000 sent and received and now supplies the most industrialised disappointment in the game.

https://app.warera.io/user/6993085d97126f07addeacee has 292 reaction records. Two hundred and eighty-three are dislikes.

Nine articles have earned this account's approval.

And here is the detail I could not have invented: https://app.warera.io/user/6993085d97126f07addeacee already holds a record from my moderation article... eleven avatars removed, more than any other account.

Behind an account currently flying https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7a2's flag is a player eleven avatars deep, disliking almost everything that appears on the screen. I sincerely hope the tenth like is out there.

Fairness note: reaction identities are not displayed in the game UI, but they are returned by the same public interaction endpoint used for the aggregate figures above. Nobody listed here broke a rule. A dislike is allowed... even 283 of them. Do not harass anyone for appearing in a statistics article; they are perfectly capable of operating their own buttons.

Part III: Applause without a wallet

Last time I found the patrons: accounts that tipped thousands of gold and received little or nothing back.

This is the opposite tribe — the biggest clappers who have never sent a single tip.

1. https://app.warera.io/user/6a30be1267eea9c450293731 — 304 likes given, 0 tips sent

2. https://app.warera.io/user/6a07674f568f0172d5ff5684 — 266, zero

9. https://app.warera.io/user/693caf71d4fa203c887020a1 — 170, zero

10. https://app.warera.io/user/69934e5fa8640dce8034bb5f — 168, zero

Blank-inactive-acc is neither blank nor inactive, apparently.

No judgement. A like is worth exactly what it costs.

But writers, know your audience: the game contains roughly five reaction records for every five-gold tip transaction. Some of your loudest supporters have simply never opened their wallet.

Part IV: Both crowns belong to the same man

You asked who is the most loved. Here is the answer, and it ruins a perfectly good narrative.

Most-loved authors: likes received

1. https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab195068 — 29,109 likes · 1,467 dislikes · 4.8% negative

2. https://app.warera.io/user/682787e1a3cf9ba485f027b9— 8,102 · the richest beggar is also beloved

7. https://app.warera.io/user/6976afb9713451d626e54737 — 5,914 · 1.8%

8. https://app.warera.io/user/697b1c3375e83770b288d1db — 5,694 · 10.7% negative — loved AND booed

9. https://app.warera.io/user/6976313955afed608343674f — 5,534

10. https://app.warera.io/user/6972829fbcd04419d1bc93cf — 5,203 · sixty "BREAKING NEWS 🚨" posts add up

https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab195068 has received 29,109 likes three and a half times the runner-up and 1,467 dislikes, more than twice the runner-up. Both crowns. Same head.

And here is the twist the dislike table hides: at 4.8% negative, https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab195068 is booed less than the average article (baseline: 7.3%). The most-disliked author in WarEra is, proportionally, better received than the game he built.

The purest reception in the game

Volume kings aside.. who is loved flawlessly? Among authors with 300+ reactions, fifteen have never received a single dislike. The biggest of them:

https://app.warera.io/user/6897b0d1053f8fbb3f4b05a2 — 1,939 likes, zero dislikes

https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab1950b3 — 1,552, zero

https://app.warera.io/user/6a146313f0de273b8b1c27f6 — 541, zero

https://app.warera.io/user/6897b0d1053f8fbb3f4b05a2: nearly two thousand reactions and not one person has ever objected. Also from the money article a top-30 earner with a completely clean moderation record. Somewhere on https://app.warera.io/country/696a81da63e2489f47e5a28e lives the only universally approved man in this game.

Honourable mention to https://app.warera.io/user/699b2ff0e71fa94cb553b3c4 (4,855 likes, 38 dislikes, 0.8%) the busiest reciprocal tipper in WarEra is also one of its most cleanly received writers.

Honesty about this table: giveaways rig it. Three of https://app.warera.io/user/69e8a3b87f9a1cfe17a8ab71's gem raffles sit in the top ten because a like is the raffle ticket that is engagement purchased at market rate, not literary acclaim. Strip those and the board is patch notes, the iOS launch, and https://app.warera.io/user/6813fb6e7df60827954a754a going undercover as a moderator for 100 hours which at 1,217 likes might be the best-received piece of actual journalism ever published here.

With likes alongside, the table splits into two species. https://app.warera.io/user/6813b758efecdf9bab195068, https://app.warera.io/user/683908aa9f84b9712a1b9098, https://app.warera.io/user/6813b754efecdf9bab194ca4 big reach, boos as a tax on attention. And then https://app.warera.io/user/698b5c6294134143baf18532, https://app.warera.io/user/696daac30601eb8b5eb99ee4, https://app.warera.io/user/6999af237cf1d056bf61a1eb, https://app.warera.io/user/699e44adb9a3b260953e50e3: authors whose dislikes rival or exceed their likes. https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac858places three in the top seven, https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac8da two. Whatever is happening politically in those countries, the readers are voting on it.

notvatou's dislikes do not mean 1,467 different people, and not every one landed on a patch note. Reach produces gold. Reach also produces fury. The two records are not opposites — they are the same statistic wearing different colours.

At scale, invisibility is the only reliable protection from a dislike.

Part V: The geopolitics of applause

Of all reaction records, 919,108 or 96.9% can be assigned both to the reactor's current country and the author's current country.

That means the reaction button has a foreign policy, and I have the map.

Read this correctly: these are directed reaction events between accounts' current flags, not an opinion poll of real-world nations. Players move, and one prolific account can react to many articles. The map measures activity and direction; it does not prove that an entire country shares one view.

First, the volume king.

https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79c gives the most likes in the game — 72,822 and the most dislikes — 5,293. at a perfectly ordinary 6.8% negative rate.

https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79c is not unusually angry. https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79c simply reads everything and files a verdict on all of it.

The https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7a0, second in likes, boos only 3.8% of the time.

Some nations are audiences. https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac79c is a review board.

The single biggest rivalry by volume

The largest directed foreign dislike flow in WarEra is https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7bc → https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7ba: 500 dislikes.

Second is https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac845→ https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac874: 494 dislikes.

Third is the reverse Balkan flow: https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7ba→ https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7bc: 404 dislikes.

No other pair occupies two of the top three directed flows. https://app.warera.io/region/6813b7059403bc4170a5d792 and https://app.warera.io/region/6813b7059403bc4170a5d79e have built the most professionally administered mutual-dislike operation in the game.

Read the top of that table again:

The reaction map does not perfectly reproduce the war map, but it looks uncomfortably familiar.

When an account currently flying https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac845's flag reacts to an article under https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af15c1's flag, it presses dislike roughly nineteen times out of twenty.

At that point, the button is not literary criticism. It is artillery that costs nothing.

The biggest one-sided grudge in WarEra belongs to https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7ba and https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7eb.

Accounts under https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7ba's current flag boo nearly three-quarters of https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7eb-flagged articles. The reverse flow is negative only 16.6% of the time.

Centuries of history, compressed into a reaction button and barely reciprocated.

Across the negative-rate and asymmetry tables, Germany repeatedly appears against the United States, Turkiye, and Egypt. The reverse rates shown for the United States and Egypt are far lower.

Germany is doing the reviewing. The defendants have not matched its enthusiasm.

I had a lovely paragraph written about this table. It said https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af160f had reacted to https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7f2 articles 1,546 times without disapproving once, and asked what https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7f2could possibly have done to deserve such devotion.

Then a reader explained the flag system to me, and the paragraph died.

https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af160f is a https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7f2 colony. https://app.warera.io/country/6873d0ea1758b40e712b5f1f is a https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac80b one.

Both were taken over. players from one country migrating into a smaller one en masse and running it. Which means "https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af160f → https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7f2" is not a foreign relationship at all. It is https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7f2 liking https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7f2 across a flag boundary. The purest love in the game turns out to be the oldest one: love of self.

Nearly half — 44.4% — of reactions on articles by accounts currently flying https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af15c1's flag are dislikes.

That appears to be the compound result of the https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac845–https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af15c1 feud and an https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af15c1-flagged readership that also dislikes at an above-average rate.

The rudest nation from my moderation article https://app.warera.io/article/6a67e4f7131604bdadc36b1c is polite to its own newspapers.

https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac80e, meanwhile, records a 20.3% negative rate toward its own press higher than its already elevated overall rate. Among qualifying nations, it is the only one harder on its domestic press than on foreign articles.

This is https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac80e's fourth recurring role in the series: top ten in muted-account share, most total time silenced, grumpiest at serious volume, and now the harshest domestic critic.

At some point https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac80e stops being a row in the data and becomes a recurring character.

What it all comes to

Two articles ago, I found 16,112 accounts somewhere in the public moderation records.

Last time, I found a tip economy in which the median paid author had earned ten tips: 50 gold in total.

Now the applause ledger says something gentler: nearly one million current reaction records, 92.7% positive, left by 23,766 accounts that mostly wanted a writer to know somebody had read the work.

The remaining 7.3% is not random noise.

It forms a map: accounts under https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac845's flag booing https://app.warera.io/country/683ddd2c24b5a2e114af15c1i articles, https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac862 booing https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d546e731854c7ac8da, https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7bc and https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7baoperating the game's largest reciprocal-dislike route, and https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7ba carrying a centuries-old imbalance into a button https://app.warera.io/country/6813b6d446e731854c7ac7ebbarely returns.

The wars of this world are fought with artillery, wages, and thumbs.

People are complicated.

The data just counts how.

Sources and limitations: 950,944 current public reaction records — 881,770 likes and 69,174 dislikes — attached to 36,531 articles accessible at extraction time through WarEra's public article and interaction endpoints. This is a snapshot, not a complete event history: deleted or inaccessible articles, and reactions removed or changed before extraction, cannot be recovered. The snapshot contains 23,816 accounts with at least one current reaction record. Part V's country tables reflect the immediately preceding 948,607-reaction extract; player tables use the current one the drift between them is under 0.3%. Retrieved reactor lists matched the corresponding per-article totals with no observed truncation. Player negative-share rankings require at least 50 reactions; national-rate tables require 500; directed country-pair tables require 200. Country-pair figures count reaction events, not unique people, so prolific accounts can contribute many records. Of all reactions, 919,108 have a known current country for both sides. Nationality is each account's current flag, not necessarily its flag when the reaction was made. Daily rates, where shown, divide a player's reactions by the days between their first and last recorded reaction. Tip and moderation comparisons use the earlier snapshots reported in those articles and are contextual rather than synchronised to this extract. Reaction identities are not displayed in the game UI but are returned by the public endpoint. Nobody named here is accused of breaking a rule.

I've been a doctor, an astronaut, a firefighter, a statistician, and an economist. Today I was a critic.

Everyone's a critic.

Specifically, 23,816 of you.
