Good post! Ya even if a post doesn't get upvotes or a payout, it's still a creation and should be appreciated by the author even if it's not by others. Chances are it just got lost in Steemit new post traffic. It doesn't mean people wouldn't have liked it if they read it.

Another thing is that this is all on The Block Chain. That means it's essentially going to last forever. It's decentralized through witnesses and the time stamped history of everything you post here will likely always exist which is another reason to blog here and really adds value for me.
