What does "hijacking a post" even mean? Why is it a bad thing? And, reblogging means your tags are lost when someone else reblogs, so either no one other than your immediate circle of followers will see it (and even then, only ones with extensions to let them see all the tags at once - I don't use any extensions on my browser, so I don't see most tags)...or, the followers will copy-paste the tags into text when they reblog, anyway, thus resulting in the post being "hijacked" (if I'm understanding that term correctly).

I don't get it at all.

I was wondering too, so thank you for asking.

It depends on the person, I know when I'm adding opinion tags (or whatever you want to call them), I only want my immediate followers to see them, it means it's something I'd feel weird about complete strangers seeing, kind of the same thinking that keeps me from posting pictures of myself. Some people just don't want everyone to know whatever silly thing they add to a post.

I can kind of understand being confused, because it can be hard to understand the motivation of someone you don't know in a community that doesn't interest you, but why are people getting mad about any of this?

[nyxelestia]

a.) But then they just copy-paste the tags into their own reblogs, anyway.

b.) Because that stream of links and hashtags is annoying and difficult to read. When it's a few words, it's fine, but when it's entire sentences or paragraphs, then it starts to be a problem, and long "tag essays" are sometimes a literal pain to read.

Concerning a: Yes, some people do, but the important thing is that not everyone does. Having comments in tags just makes it easier to have a post that isn't cluttered with commentary that you might not care for (and from people you might not follow)---and at the same time, if you do like the commentary, you can reblog it if you want, with less effort than it would take to delete the comments you don't want to keep. Otherwise, most posts would probably have captions miles long.

I understand that it can be a pain to read, but I honestly think tag comments are pretty practical.

(DA, by the way)

...how is "highlight -> backspace" harder than "{extension} -> highlight -> Ctrl+C -> change field -> Ctrl+P"?

And I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, because reading essays written in tags is still too much of a pain in the ass to read to compensate for any alleged practicality gained from it. If nothing else, people could at least have the decency to paste the tags into a Notepad and then cut and paste into the post so that the whole damn meta isn't underlined and making an already hard to read post even more difficult to visually process.
