No more tags on youtube?

You still need strong keywords for your video to be found. But the title of the video is of upmost importance. It has to be YouTube friendly to get spotted. So are tags irrelevent? Not really, but it helps as a building block to have others find you.

1. title
2. tags
3. description

thats why I have my video with its tags in the description :D
 
i dont see why yotube would go down the route, it gives youtbers the oppurtunity to spam there videos with tags that dont relate making it easier for their videos to be seen. This could be a major mistake on yotubes part
 
^ Youtube is careful with spam. Anyway putting tags on that dont relate is pointless. It is like a gamer seeing a piano player. It will not work.

I dunno, sometimes I like to be a d**k and slap on trending keywords and s**t that is massively hyped. SOMETIMES it works well trust me. Hit or Miss though.

That's against the Youtube TOS and can get your account suspended.

On to the hidden tag development...

Metadata is important in getting your video seen in search results. Good title, description, and yes, tags. Without that stuff, good luck in getting views... hidden tags or not. There's still a field to enter that information. It still works.

Anyway... I'm glad to see they've hidden them.

For starters, it'll help in killing off the reply girl plague and similar blatant tag robbery.

On the other hand, it will make it harder to find your own videos someone may have ripped off your channel, in it's entirety, for use on theirs. Tags are how I found one of my videos someone had reuploaded and monetized. Smart-guy just copied and pasted all my tags... my channel name included.

Brilliant.

They stole everything else too... links to my other crap and all my links to my other videos. Pasted right to their (my) video. Thanks for the free... uhh... advertising?

Absolutely brilliant.
 
Yeah problem is, the tags are only hidden from people who are not handy with computers

Just look at the video page source code and the keywords are still in here

hahaha same happened to me, he copied the outro, even our logo is in there and s**t...plus at the end we usually link and feature two videos...
No way to get those removed though...
 
I was a little confused when I saw that my videos don't show the tags but then I realised Youtube trolled me.
