Myth: Hashtags in first-comment beat caption hashtags
A scheduling-feature legend: dump tags in an auto first-comment for 'cleaner reach.' Meta confirmed placement doesn't change ranking.
✔ First-comment auto-posting (Later, Metricool) keeps captions tidy — a real readability win
✖ But it does NOT boost reach; that part is folklore
✖ Teams pay extra for the feature expecting a ranking edge that isn't there
Correction: use first-comment for aesthetics, not algorithm gaming. Spend the effort on 3-5 relevant tags, not 30 hidden ones.
Best for: stop choosing schedulers by 'does it auto-comment hashtags.'
Price: it's a free checkbox on most tools — don't upgrade for it.
Pick this if you picked your tool for a feature that does nothing.
