Why do people use tags that are irrelevant to the questions they ask?
Some persons ask question on education and use steem as a tag. Others ask questions about relationship and travel as tag.

This problem is already prevalent in steemit. People like to use irrelevant tags, especially the trending tags, in the hope to reach more users. This behaviour is always frowned upon by the steem community. Unfortunately, right now there is nothing we can do about it. Musing can perhaps come out with some rules that forbid these misuse, like not upvoting them, for example.
In steemit, some communities like the #kr will actually warn and even flag anyone who uses the tag and post in non-korean language. But in musing, it doesn't work because musing questions are comments in a steemit post, and there is no flagging in the musing.io interface.
I am sure the musing.io owners are aware of this problem and a solution should be planned. Let's wait for it.
I have observed the same thing too and i think it is an issue that musing.io owners should look into,most
people that use the wrong tags intentionally because
they want to use so many tags because they believe that the more tags they use then the more upvotes they
could get and there are some people that unintentionally do it because they do not even know the right tags to use for their question,,think there should be
a feature that can make people to be able to flag
contents that makes use of the wrong tags which misinform alot of users on this platform,i believe that the
flagging feature will curb the problem of wrong tags been used on a question even when the question is not in any way related to the tag.....
Some people intentionally use the wrong tags as a way to deceive people into checking their contents
even if the tags are unrelated to the content,i think that it is a habit or action tgat should be frowned at
on this platform because it is mis-leading,imagine you trying to check questions under the tag “cryptocurrency” and you start seeing questions like “
when will you get married”,please how is that question related to cryptocurrency??why is such person using the tag “cryptocurrency” to describe
the question that has nothing to do with cryptocurrency...i think there should be a penalty for those that are fond of abusing use of tags just
because they want more visibility for their contents,i believe a person can still get visibility on their contents without using the wrong tags intentionally...
