I too was really shocked when I saw the piddling traffic that was coming from hashtags. Even some of my best posts with 6-8k impressions only are getting less than 100 of those from hashtags. I originally thought this meant I was shadow banned but after checking this is not the case. Did we all just completely overestimate the importance of tags and how many people actually search for them?
See the attached for an example.
Seems like it. We've been wrong for so long... Or at least since algorithms were introduced and such. Who knows when the shift happend with tags becoming irrelevant?
