As far as I can tell, the reactions part of the Tuz arrived around the same time Ronaldo did (for whether or not these two impactful events corrolate in any other way please see another paper I have authored: "
Ronaldo and Tuz Reactions: Harbingers of Jj failure; Scottish (2023)") So let's say they have been here for perhaps 6 years. This of course gives us a lot of lost data as to popularity of certain posters and of their contributions to the forum. Obviously I am making reference to the older system of reputation. One could attempt to gather data via number of times posts were quoted and replied to either with a laugher emoji or with the phrase "+rep" but this data would be incomplete and therefore inherently misleading. Instead we shall stick with the numbers as per reactions.
Fortunately the XenForo forum software keeps a record of this data for us. Although for the sake of scientific rigour it should also be noted that there was an adjustment period where users were not so liberal with their use of the various reactions - and it must also be noted that the selection of available reactions has changed. This final point is evidenced by the existence of a 'dislike' option which remains as a relic on some older posts. This function was later removed. I am unaware because of my several years of Tuz absence, but it's possible that the selection has changed in other ways that I am unaware of.
One final consideration is that posting on Tuz is not a central pillar of most users' lives. As such, I believe we have all taken leave for certain amounts of time, and additionally some posters will post more frequently than others. Additionally, because of the relatively late arrival of the ratings system to the Juventuz forum, I will be looking more at the ratio of different types of reactions to attempt to level the playing field.*
I will look to answer three questions:
-Is Turk a top10 Juve entertainer?
-Is Seven a top10 Juve entertainer?
-Who is the top Juve entertainer?
-Why does the Tier known as DAiDEViL keep his Kurzbiografie private, preventing important scientific study from being carried out?
*Actually not, things swung a different way as I was writing this nonsense

Is Turk a top10 Juve entertainer?
The most obvious feature of Turk's postings on Tuz is that he has the kind of polarising effect one would expect from somebody so confident in expressing very extreme views. Ranging from incessant attempts to brand the business plan of the current Juventus management as one predicated on terrorism to harebrained antisemitic conspiracy theories, Turk certainly knows how to draw in engagement.
In fact, according to a March 2023 study (Robertson et al.), the human brain is hardwired to respond better to negative narratives or news narratives. To quote the abstract of said study:
Bearing this in mind, I will also be analysing the number of Negative reactions received by Turk in establishing whether or not he is a top10 Juventus entertainer. To be clear, I am including Surprised, Wat, Sad and Scared as negative reactions because the category of Negative reactions proper constitutes solely the now-defunct Dislike. Now to present the Data.
As of the time of writing, Turk as received
2867 Positive reactions (Like, Thanks, Agree, Funny, Useful and Love), and a total of
448 Negative reactions by my working definition (Dislike, Surprised, Wat, Sad and Scared). This gives a
total of 3315 reactions. This gives us our baseline to compare with.
I will now turn to the list given by the forum software for the top 20 users with the 'Most Likes'. This sorts only the forum's top 10 by the literal Like reaction, but it gives an indication of a possible top 10 by overall reactions. Combining the total reactions received by each, we have, sorted in order

Thus far this study has been based on rigorous application of the scientific method, so I feel it's only fair that I now allow for some degree of personal bias.
I began considering that certain of these top 10 do not usually make posts based on humour, and are quality posters who primarily add huge value to the forum via their insight and analysis. Such examples would be Mark, Boksic, DanielSz, IgorTudor etc. I began to think about the possibility of truncating this list down to a 10 to see if there would be space for Turk once the non-clowns had been eliminated, but then also I decided to run my own numbers to see if there might be room for me as well.
As it turns out, I have received
3483 total reactions, which is more than Turk's
3315. It is a given fact that I am not a top10 Juventus entertainer, so if Turk is languishing behind me then he certainly doesn't crack the top10.
Therefore, Turk is NOT a top10 Juventus entertainer.

Is Seven a top10 Juve entertainer?
Nah, Dude is here for giving free legal advice, he knows to leave the unsuccessful attempts at being funny to the real clowns like me and the bald old man.

-Who is the top Juve entertainer?
The numbers say it's Dai. My heart says it's Dru

-Why does the Tier known as DAiDEViL keep his Kurzbiografie private, preventing important scientific study from being carried out?
Because he may be a Tier but he's also a little Schäkerin.
