Ask Why do some hashtags bring bots instead of real users?

[Brajet]

Some hashtags are full of bots because they are very popular and are often used by spam accounts trying to look active. Bots usually comment, like, or follow without real interest in the content. When very popular hashtags are used, the post gets mixed with spam posts, and bots find it easily. Using smaller and more specific hashtags helps attract real people who are interested in that topic. It is better to use hashtags that match the content clearly. Do you think smaller hashtags bring better engagement?

When a hashtag starts trending or has lots of posts, it's like a signal saying "hey, traffic here," so spam bots jump in to drop ads, fake likes, or random links. They don't actually care what the topic is about. Broad hashtags like #love or #news are even worse because they're always busy, so bots stick to them all the time. Since bots can post super fast, they often flood the tag and push real users down. And sometimes the platform's algorithm boosts whatever is active, even if it's fake activity, which just makes it worse.

Yes, in most cases the refund policy that applies is the one active at the time of purchase. So even if the merchant updates it later, your order is usually still covered under the original terms. That is why the date of purchase matters a lot.
