RE: Talk

Hashtags can be a problem for several reasons, especially when they’re not used strategically. This can be seen all over social media.
While hashtags are supposed to increase reach, if they're not carefully chosen to align with the post and of course the target audience they don't have much benefit.
Even communities having their own hashtag can become a problem.
The only way left for me is to have a dropdown menu of 20 default hashtags of which you have 5 to choose from. End of story. (•ิ‿•ิ)

are your post found back if you search for them on the internet or is it only important to find them back on Steemit?

Umh.. I've never looked for any of my posts on the Internet by a hashtag, not even for good posts. I will always search for key words.
For example, some time ago I was looking for the posts I wrote about how to start your own business, which I wanted to share with a Steemian I am helping.

The only times I use hashtags is when I am searching on Steemit. When;

  1. I have to curate
  2. Contests
  3. Looking for posts to vote and comment on

Hence then also the reason why we grouped tags together when I was in a curating team.
All contest posts would go under "contest," food and cooking under "food," all sports under "sport" and the list goes on. I don't think we ever had more than 20 tags.

I trust this answers your question. (•ิ‿•ิ)

I have to think this over what you mean by it and will check how many hashtag we curated. If it comes to hashtags and curating it's easy to "manipulate" especially if more than one is used.
I wonder how "art & craft" can be a hashtag since I never saw that one?

If it comes to creative writing I only see this hashtags used and in most cases the content is not creative at all.

We had betterlife health review learnwithsteem photography travel food creativewriting thediarygame but others as well and and they do deserve a tag of their own.
