They pick twitter hashtags which are double entendres :)

Hashtags are also there.

I think they just mean them=Twitter

The title is a clear play on the hashtag.

#satire #tongue-in-cheek.

I imagine it's in response to the fact people are hashtagging everything.

It's just marketing buzzwords to attract attention to the tweet.

hashtags too.

Oh, I thought they were hashtags, I was gonna see if they were trending on twitter.

What's with the hashtag?

weird hashtag usage

It seems like a majority of the tweets on there were pulled in by keywords, not just hashtags - probably to get seed content.

I don't use Twitter, but based on what I see on Instagram, I agree with the parent that those people look like asses. It comes off as whoring for followers, and a bit desperate.

I think it's different, however, if there are a few hashtags at the end which in themselves are jokes or metajokes and that add to the cleverness of the post, in the same way that XKCD alt-text does. A string of simple categories (#joke #jokes #funny #comedy) is just annoying.

Definitely Twitter slang to add emphasis.

This name has another meaning on Twitter.

Hashtags are topic-oriented.

bobbiechen | karma 3131 | avg karma 7.23 · | 2020-05-22 05:48:03+00:00

I wonder how many of these are actively trying to influence the conversation, as opposed to just piling onto a trending hashtag with irrelevant material. As an example, I picked the currently trending hashtag #YouKnowYoureASidePieceWhen and immediately found this spam: https://twitter.com/DebtReliefLoans/status/12637033931193712...

That is how twitter jokes look. It is part and parcel of the medium. Better to have the joke look like a twitter joke and get read by an audience, than to make it pure and read by nobody. Really, the hashtags are no more out of place than a smiley face on an email.

FWIW my opinion of hashtags (relatively new to Twitter) is that they’re only used by brands and mostly cringe people

It may indicate that the hashtags are created by the users and not by the platform. Needs further research. /s

And a bunch of #hashtags
