Do YouTube tags still matter?
YouTube says tags play a minimal role in discovery today; the title, thumbnail and description matter far more. Tags still help in one case: common misspellings and alternative names for your topic.
Put your exact main phrase first, add a few variations, and stay within the 500-character limit.
