In the case of seat belts that's probably because the cost of your life is infinity.

The same isn't quite true for my blogger account.

The cost of your life is much higher than your blogger account, but it's not literally infinite, even from your own perspective.

If it were truly infinite, then it would be irrational for you ever to take any action that were not 100% motivated by the desire to protect your life. (Not just "never take any risks", but literally irrational not to actively spend every waking second solely on that goal).
