Tags are not the problem. Speaking of communities:
During my first months in Steem (soon to be Hive) I started posting travel stuff in Travelfeed. Later I realised that for some reason guys who posted in Pinmapple/HYBH got much more rewards regardless the content. That's because OCD supports the latter instead of the former. So I jumped in P/HYBH and indeed I got much better rewards. Actually I was almost always on their top 3 - you can imagine the kind of content I had to post there touring Europe for years. Then later I started getting less and less attention from them till at some point I wasn't even making it to their "honorable mentions". Comparing my content with the "better" ones brought laughable results so I quit them and got back to Travelfeed since they also have a better front end to post such stuff. As soon as a member of P/HYBH realises this, texts me asking me why I left them for Travelfeed and that the latter doesn't add value to Hive as they do etc... Long story short, I found out these communities are in some sort of fight/antagonising against each other (though unequal since OCD supports one of them) and I just left all that crap behind quitting both.
But it's not just a wrong community thing. I wish it was that simple 🙂
