Booktube tags aren't necessarily passe, but they have evolved over time. While they were hugely popular in the earlier days of Booktube, the community has diversified its content in recent years. Tags, especially the traditional ones, are not as prominent or viral as they once were. I put a poll on my community tab asking what type of booktube videos my viewers preferred and only two votes were for Tags. My channel is focusing more on reviews these days, which my viewers seem to prefer. Let me know your thoughts on Booktube tag videos in the comments.Tags can still be engaging, especially if you give them a fresh spin or inject humor and personality into them. If your audience enjoys them, they’re still a valid form of content!გამომყვეთFollow me on Goodreads: goodreads.com/user/show/5041353-jimTwitter: twitter.com/iagozabibhaInstagram: instagram.com/holroydjimMy Blog: jimholroydblog.wordpress.com (for book reviews)I read and answer all comments. ვკითხულობ და ვპასუხობ ყველა კომენტარს
