One common mistake is using irrelevant or overly generic youtube hashtags that don’t match the video’s content, which can mislead viewers and hurt engagement rates. Overstuffing hashtags — adding more than 15 — results in all hashtags being ignored by YouTube. Another error is neglecting niche or trending hashtags in favor of only popular ones, limiting discoverability. Creators should also avoid using misleading hashtags to chase trends, as this can harm credibility and channel trustworthiness.
