Personally, it’s fun for me and it’s a good way to pass the time as well

Also fun to receive feedback and comments

Your blogs are instructive, but mostly at the beginner level. At the intermediate-advanced level, people might not find your blogs instructive anymore, although I do consider your blogs well-written. At the intermediate-advanced level, people would enjoy a higher rated player breaking down his moves in a humorous and somewhat instructive fashion, like @Rodgy, @Lightning, and @DanielGuel. And the storytelling of tournament recaps is important. Why do you think @GothamChess's recaps have been some of his most popular videos? People enjoy that, and let's face it, watch a high rated player analyze his games for long enough, and you will learn something. And also, there are other methods of instruction on Chess.com, so a humorous blog can be a breath of fresh air. And the people who have voted are more familiar with Lightning's blogs. Those are my thoughts on why he has more votes than you.

And you're not a Top Blogger. Top Bloggers will have a higher chance in a poll because they are more well-known. You can apply, I think you would have a chance to be accepted.

There aren't a lot of benefits to existing, either

I’ve been trying to improve at Chess for months, and I have little improvement.
