I think those are orthogonal.
Sure, you have the biggest chance of having something preserved if enough people care about it. This is a case where, as you rightly point out, technology matters not.
But we can still discuss technologies of preservation, especially in the light of non-physical creations like works presented on a digital machine.

And the very fact it survives makes it noteworthy - if archeologists found a collection of well preserved shitposts from 2500 BC it would be valuable - even if worthless when recorded.
