Have you ever experienced Instagram hashtag not working?

[Heatman]

The use of hashtags on any social media platforms that allows it brings more visibility to your page. When you're using the right hashtags, it brings a better result unlike when you're using the wrong hashtags.

This is where questioning why some hashtags wouldn't work? Have you had issues with hashtags you're trying to use not working or bringing positive results?

Hashtags are dead everywhere.

If you search for hashtags on social media, you're the first person I've known to do it in a long time.

I haven't searched by hashtag in at least 5 years.

I don't use it on my content anymore and I've noticed an increase in impressions and engagement since I've stopped using them.

I'm thinking in the same line too. It was around 2019/20 that I can remember using hashtags very well especially on Instagram and it worked very well in bringing traffic and visibility to the company's business page I was managing back then.

Yeah - I think it's a better approach to make it a habit not to use them anymore. I really feel that apps that are still using them (Threads and Bsky) are going to drop them at some point.

I disagree, I still use hashtags to attract users.

X, Instagram, YouTube. (YT to a lower extent, but still.)

If it's no longer working and bringing the desired results, there's a high chance they will drop it.

As long as it's still working very for you when it comes to bringing you the desired traffic and activities, I don't see why you should stop using it.
