One thing that reassures me somewhat: looking at trending tags, SBD-meta tags like "giveaway" and "freesteem", while active enough to make it onto the list, generally have their payout activity dwarfed by content-topical tags like "food", "art", and yes, even "gaming". (Visiting that list also gives me some feedback on how to better tag my stuff... I should really be using the "blog" tag, methinks!)
