Why Are Shorts With Just One Hashtag Going Viral?

[Kemiwlxx]

I wear somedays seeing some shorts with no description, no hashtags in the tags section and only a hashtag in the title going viral

One of these hashtags is #jaidmeel

Anyone has detected something similar?

Haven’t seen #jaidmeel specifically, but I’ve noticed random niche hashtags getting traction.

Yes, I’ve noticed similar trends too. Sometimes videos go viral with just one hashtag, even without description or tags. Seems like the algorithm favors certain content patterns.

shorts are random so tags/keywords dont matter.

I suspect that it's a kind of key to make bot farms to boost the video

And after the initial push the algorithm do the rest

I also notice this trends.

There is a little bit of luck in these things..like a popular account sharing the video at random.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. Some shorts with minimal info still blow up—probably algorithm testing or boosted engagement. That #jaidmeel tag is popping up a lot lately.

Yeah noticed a few and all of them were performing very well. It's all algorithm's magic. Really difficult figure out what's working and what's not.

A unique hashtag can make it easy to push multiple videos at once and make it look like an organic trend instead of sending views through URLs.
