Follow industry hashtags

Track the five industry hashtags I follow this month. Each morning scan the top 30 posts under #saasgrowth #productops #designops #talentacquisition #b2bsales, like and save three useful posts, and compile three takeaways for my morning message: notable trends, one potential contact to follow, and one idea I can comment on to increase visibility.

Before I start following new hashtags, make it easy to decide which ones matter: surface the expected follower size, recent post velocity, and one example of a post that attracted thoughtful comments. Flag any hashtag dominated by conference promotion or recruiters so I don’t waste time.

I started following #growthhacks yesterday because a peer recommended it, but the feed is 80% recycled tips and blatant product ads. I can’t tell if it’s a bad tag or if I tuned the algorithm wrong. Should I unfollow now, add a handful of thought leaders to reshape the feed, or keep watching for a few days? What’s the fastest test to know if this hashtag is worth keeping?

Over months I keep adding hashtags hoping for fresh content, but my feed fragments and I spend hours skimming low-value posts. Where am I losing time in my discovery routine, what one habit would reclaim those hours, and how should I prune or consolidate my followed hashtags to surface higher-signal content consistently?
