Do you tag your YouTube videos in 2026? 1
The result is only visible to the participants.
I was wondering if people are still adding tags to their YouTube videos? Are YouTube using them now as much or are they a waste of time and better letting the algorithm understand the content without them? What are your thoughts?
I still use them maybe 70% of the time, I tend to use the most relevant ones maybe 7. In the past I would use all 500 characters available. Im unsure if they have much weight and if theyre worth using. I guess YouTube would remove them entirely if their systems didnt use them at all as they would be pointless.
