That’s why people put “Tags: (example) (example) (example)” at the bottom of their descriptions.

Don’t they tell you this through uploading or am I getting it confused with something else

[wingdinggaster]

Tags are used for the algorithm, tagging something with “GTA5” will make it more likely to pop up on the recommended of someone who watches gta5 videos

[SpaceReii]

Tags are used as an ALGORITHM searcher. They do have a use, and that is appearing in the algorithm you have. They do not affect search, but they let the yt algorithm to recommend a video with that tag

[AlecWilcock]

I still use tags a lot but clearly I shouldn't be. I can't bring myself to stop, it's been a habit for years... 😅

[SayAaaahAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH]

Some stuff: Youtube never said the tags are for searching they said it would “attract viewers into watching”

[ellznaga]

Well if you post two things of the same tags and search for the title of one of them it’ll show the one you searched for and the one with the same tags will be recommended I assume that’s how it works atleast

[ethanlolcat]

I feel like everyone is ignoring that YouTube literally tells you that tags don’t do anything for the algorithm in the tags section.

Man YouTube really Put me into Genjutsu for 3 years fck

[perkthings]

tags are actually there to help your videos get recommended to audiences of specific topics, so they are useful.

[FaintAcrobat]

The tags are used for recommendations, not search.
If you watch certain videos with specific tags, the algorithm will then start recommending other videos with the same tags.
It has nothing to do with search and is purely for the algorithm to work it's magic.
That's why you sometimes get weird recommendations since a tag in that video corresponds to a tag in a video you've watched before. It's all weighted and such so it's not like if you have only watch one video with a specific tag, that it will suddenly start recommending videos with that same tag. Maybe in the beginning but the more and more you watch, specific tags become your preference and the algorithm will try and match videos with as many tags as possible that correspond to your high value tags.

Tags seem kind of down, they're not even working at all sadly.

[Axtar]

Tags just try to get to the right Audience on Recommendations

[rubyrunz]

Tags Help the Video get a more defined audience tags like “Minecraft” will help YouTube know to show the video to people who watch Minecraft videos

[lt-lion]

U can't search tags via the search bar, u have to click the tag via a video to search with the tag. It's a stupid system but that's just how it works...

[envar]

This is because you actually have to click on the tags and then they will bring you to videos with the tag. It’s a little dumb, but they do have some purpose.

[SandTurtle]

tags probably help for those buttons you can click on the top of your homepage that lets you filter by type of video, e.g. cooking, final fantasy, math, dark souls, educational that when you click only shows you vids of that type

[SoruxYT]

Actually tags do work, there was a video that showed up to a word that was seemingly unrelated but using the view page source on the video you could see that the video had that word as the tag and not in the description or title

[skeleton_craftGaming]

Yeah no texts are only for recommendations. And they're also potentially used as context clues by the main search engine when YouTube videos are embedded in a web page.

[Souleutions]

Tags are used if a title is in a different language, or spelled in a different way. Title is the one of the biggest things that help the video.
