Yes, Twitter is about quality. But it's also about engagement and community. And sometimes there's just no better way to express how you feel to the community than a nonsensical hashtag. Hashtags have emerged as the new emoticon in this regard. Speaking of which, shouldn't we finally get rid of emoticons before we focus on hashtags? :) #buckupandgowithit Haha as much as I see what you're saying, I don't think you're going to get very far in your crusade.

But yes, there are a lot of folks who throw every word/phrase possible as a tag simply to game the system. Again, that is useless and desperate.
