Hashtag 7: Number sign Hashtag? What?

The ever growing popular Hashtag, a way to link literally whatever significant or meaningless action you happen to be taking at any point in your day. Going to breakfast? #breakfast #pancakes? #eggs! #breakfastisyummy #awaketooearly #whyamiup? ...yeah you get the point, but lets not forget the picture of the event to go alongside it. Having never gotten into the fad of hash tagging everything I see both its purpose and how pointless it is. Lets start the purpose, having already given a general description of it lets delve deeper into its purpose. Looking to make a name for yourself in a profession as an artist or model? Utilizing hash tags allows your images to be seen all around the world by people looking for similar things (although mislabeling is an easy way to abuse the system).

thats just a few examples of the many, many hashtags you could label on your picture for fitness. 

Now instead of going on about all the other purposes of the hashtag lets talk about how its gotten out of hand and is being abused by so many. 

It would seem with the development of the hashtag and its quick rise of overuse everyone believes everyone needs to see everything they are doing. Lets be real 90% of the shit you do throughout your day is nothing worth sharing, yes that includes you Kardashian family. So why is everyone hash tagging everything they are doing? Well the answer seems pretty simple to me, everyone want to be recognized or famous for something so why not get your name out as often as possible? I can't blame the desire to build a name for yourself, but people are forgetting that "no publicity is bad publicity" isn't always true... 

#So #please #hashtag #responsibly #because #people #dont #always #care #about #what #you #say #see #or #do #.
