Very informative @shaunbeingsocial. What I noticed when I used the "life" tag was I had MANY upvotes from people who had a status between 10 -15 points. I actually stopped using that tag since I wanted readership not upvote numbers. (And it is weird to get 72 upvotes and no $$s).
I actually posted about it here: https://steemit.com/life/@yoginiofoz/i-d-rather-have-a-few-votes-than-48-votes-that-just-drain-what-little-income-i-receive
Interesting ... Excellent observation ... I will go and have a look at your article. 👍
