    Tubebuddy - Tag stuffing? Do I put them all in?

    Just installed Tubebuddy and checked the tags. It suggests a lot of tags that don't pertain to my video per se. Should I put them in anyway? I'm posting a golf video, but it suggests PGA and Tiger Woods etc. They aren't in my video. I assume I shouldn't put them in. Am I right? Thanks.
