Hashtags??

I’ve been following a “anti-body-shaming activist” on my FB feed.

They recently posted a status update, having 29 hashtags. I’m not a Twitter person, and I believe I do understand the purpose of hashtags, but isn’t it overkill to give a post that many?

Do you think they are all her hashtags, or a combination of her tags and others? Do you then go out to all of those hashtags to review the responses to them? I guess you can select the ones to “watch”, and then you don’t have to manually search for them – they then just come “up” on your “feed”?

What’s the reason behind having so many hashtags, when you are posting an update?
