       Ask HN: Do you upvote direct replies?
        
       When someone replies to my comment on HN, I usually upvote it, even
       if I disagree with it. It's the only signal I can give that: "yes,
       I read it but I don't care enough to reply right this second." I
       feel like this gives the author some feedback that their comment
       was appreciated, even if nobody ever replies.  I don't usually see
       upvotes deep in comment threads, but sometimes I do. Am I the only
       one doing this, or do other people do this too?

       | Yes, I do the same usually.
