Part 3/8:
Hashtags can boost video visibility, but overusing them can backfire. YouTube specifically advises against including more than 60 hashtags. If you exceed this limit, YouTube may ignore all hashtags, potentially removing the video from search results completely, which could lead to being shadowbanned.
The best practice is to use about three to six targeted hashtags that are relevant to the video content. This strategy not only adheres to guidelines but also helps in reaching an appropriate audience effectively.
