There was a recent thread in which HambyGirl said that her YouTube contact told her how titles and descriptions are FAR MORE important than tags.
Then, YouTube took away the "suggested tags" feature and they explain it like this:
This is from Derral Eves' latest video and although he concludes that tags are still just as important, I don't get that impression at all! To me it says "We don't really care about tags anymore, but use them if you insist."
Generally on the internet, tags are used to describe content, so this new use for keywords of lesser importance is kinda strange. It makes me think they want to get rid of the tags feature completely.
What do you think?
