What is it that you think drives engagement when a human posts a link vs. a bot?
I'll reply to a human, and they might reply back. Replying to a bot is just shouting into the wind. The bot isn't going to see it, and isn't going to respond. Even if it did respond, it would just be more nonsense.
OP doesn't always respond either. Good news is there are lots of other people who can see your comments and reply to them.
