Youtube + hashtags in titles mess

[bartosimpsonio]

Youtube recently changed the algorithm to automatically detect hashtags in video titles.

And it's a bloody mess

Kids : don't change stuff which breaks previously existing stuff.

Youtube has a new hashtag reader, so if you want to rank for hashtags you have to put them on description not in the title, the guy for years was using hashtags on the title and after the update hashtag on the title has no effort anymore

Anything with a # in video titles is now a hashtag.

So one guy numbered all his videos #1 #2 #3 .... for 12+ years and now he's a hashtag spammer.

How many hashtags do you recommend we use in description?

How many hashtags do you recommend we use in description?

Search for a hashtag you want to compete in.

Click through to the top ranked videos.

Count how many hashtags they use and write it into an excel sheet, one per row.

Tell excel to give you the average.

That's how many hashtags you'll want to use on your own videos.
