Rateadas

Rateadas is a feminine plural noun derived from rateada, the feminine form of ratear. In Portuguese, ratear means to assign a rating or score to something, so rateadas refers to ratings or rating events associated with a content item. The term is common in Brazilian Portuguese and is frequently used in online discussion about how audiences evaluate posts, videos, products, or services.

In digital platforms, rateadas describe the ratings a piece of content receives, typically expressed through stars, likes, upvotes, or numerical scores. The expression can indicate either the volume of ratings or the resulting average rating. For example, one might say that a video received a large rateada or that it achieved a five-star rateada. The term is informal and largely confined to everyday online language rather than formal discourse.

Nuances and usage: rateadas can also encompass coordinated rating activity intended to influence a piece of content’s reception—either positively or negatively. While generally neutral, the term can imply manipulation when used in contexts discussing rating campaigns or efforts to skew visibility. As such, rateadas highlight how user feedback and crowd judgments shape the perceived value of online content.
