Curious about this post

I noticed that this post https://steemit.com/spam/@roadscape/test-post earned nearly $50 but no one voted for it. Not even the author.

I'm just curious how that happens.

      After a given amount of time, the record of the votes are lost from Steemit. I don't know about the blockchain yet.

        I've made $125 on an article with no votes. I imagine it has something to do with timing. But I think the algorithms were different a couple months ago as well.
