Yes, especially if comments are real.

not much for actual growth imo. replying to comments probably won't make a huge difference to the numbers, but it does help you get closer to your viewers and makes the channel feel more personal. people remember that kind of thing.

Absolutely conversation is the best way of interaction or engagement, so in my opinion replying the youtube comments and Satisfactory answers which solve the problem of audience or viewer can help to gain better interaction. Usually when the viewer ask about anything he saw in the video in comment section most people ignore it or answer it very late this thing hurts the viewer because he want quick reply to solve his problem. So replying comments means you importance your audience and this thing will win the heart of your viewers.

I think replying to comments helps more with audience loyalty than directly boosting the channel. It keeps conversations active and gives viewers a reason to come back, while the bigger growth signals are still things like watch time, retention, and shares.

In my opinion, you don’t need to reply to every comment on your videos. I think it’s enough to engage with a few of the more interesting or meaningful comments.
