FAQ
Do tags still matter in 2026?
They matter less than title + thumbnail + retention, but tags still help with misspellings and context.
Why are some tags repeated or similar?
Because tags include close keyword variations. If you want more variety, change your topic wording.
Should I use commas or hashtags?
For tags, use comma-separated text in the tags field. Hashtags are better for descriptions.
