🚨 Hashtags aren’t totally irrelevant - but they’re no longer the growth hack they used to be.
Algorithms today care way more about content quality, retention, and real engagement than a long list of tags. That’s why you’ll see posts perform with zero hashtags or just a few.
💡 But there’s still a smarter way to use them: Drop your hashtags in the first comment instead of the caption.
Why?
✨ The algorithm tends to boost posts with engagement, so by putting your hashtags in the first comment, it can organically boost your post.
