   #PSA for #people who put lots of #inline #hashtags in their #posts, especially for words that aren’t #even the #topic of the post: stop it.

   You’re hashtag #spamming and your post #is #horrible to read.

   #One or #two inline hashtags per post, #max. Otherwise put #them at the #end of the post.

   #put #the #hashtags #down #here #pretty #please

     I get it, you want people to find your post. But have them find it for the right reasons, and have your post be pleasant to read.

     Every inline hashtag breaks the flow of reading, so use them sparingly. It’s also easier to skim the topic of a post if the hashtags are grouped together.

     I see a few people group the hashtags at the start of posts - that’s also fine!
