You dont need to upvote all the replies or even reply to all of them, especially the bot comments, but when you have over 25 comments on your post and you dont reply to any of them and make a new post, it doesnt look good. I am glad that you did take time to reply to most of the comments that you got on your previous post though. Engagement is key here on Hive, and it is really the only way to go anywhere.
