The pattern of 7723
Has everyone noticed that as long as you hide your posts, no matter how low-quality they are, you will get a bunch of replies; but if you don't hide your posts, even if your posts are good, there won't be many replies. I hope this phenomenon is rare, at least to respect people's hard work. Have you ever felt this way: even if someone casually replies with just a sentence, you will feel happy. If a post is read by over a hundred people but only a few reply, wouldn't that feel disheartening?

The original poster should understand that besides the active users, forums also have lurkers, people who ask for help, and even those who don't know how to reply… The original poster really doesn't need to be misled by appearances; it's enough if there are replies that genuinely match your intentions, regardless of the quantity. People don't stay stagnant in the past; if someone sees your post and replies, that means they agree. If you want to get more 'approval,' you should post better content. If the original poster adheres to this mindset, someday they will find their 'satisfactory' replies, won't they? Anyway, this little me definitely has.
Looking at the messy replies actually makes me feel worse; I would rather you not reply at all. You should know that replies with irrelevant content are disrespectful to the author.
