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?
