Are hashtags dead in 2025?

GuestAugust 22, 2025 at 7:46 amI’ve noticed the same thing hashtags don’t seem to carry the same weight they used to. These days, good captions, timing, and getting early engagement matter way more. Some people even lean on platforms like smmfollows for that initial boost so the algorithm actually picks up their content, instead of stressing too much about stacking 30 hashtags.

GuestAugust 23, 2025 at 6:27 pmHashtags have been dead. Keywords are more important but overall, the actual metrics you can track that track engagement are the ones worth following as they provide the real insight you need to gauge the performance of your content, weed out what’s not working and improve upon what already is. Watch-time, % of views past 3 seconds (huge KPI), likes and shares are supreme.
