After getting used to No Numbers, I am a lot more comfortable with making 'flop posts.' Such things racked my anxiety on places like Tumblr and Twitter, and it was mostly because having a visible flop was worse in my mind than the flop post itself. And there's also the whole thing about interaction inertia where users feel less comfortable interacting with posts with lower stats, which is just kinda an innate problem you can't brute force a solution to.
But now my page has taken on the role of a public diary instead of a stage performance, and the worst that the hypothetical onlookers in my head can gather from metrics is that no one felt the need to comment on a particular post. That in itself is good, but I'm also giving and recieving more interaction overall. It's neato.
