We Looked At 137,052 Tweets & Found Out Hashtags Are Worthless
I love reading data-driven detailed posts like this one.
"While hashtags were actually one of the most exciting parts of Twitter when it was first announced, they have also fed into the rise of the spam problem. And it continues to go unchecked by the platform because even less-than-reputable growth is still growth."
How often do you use hashtags when Tweeting or Instagram-ing? Have you been instructed by hundreds of social media experts that you need to use hashtags if you want to boost engagement and grow your follower-count?
I'd love to hear your opinions on this and whether or not you do agree with the argument?
