Aiden Valentine here, this blog post is aimed towards fetish models, pornstars, and producers alike. We’re talking banned Instagram hashtags today.
If you use Instagram as part of your adult social media strategy, then you are probably aware of the benefit of using hashtags (AKA keywords) to reach out to your audience. I’ve been using IG for a little bit as a promotional tool and I’d like to share a bit of knowledge with you.
Instagram is a (more) SFW platform than Twitter, although they both feature a NSFW filter for their content. Getting a post, tweet, or your profile flagged for “Sensitive Content” will reduce your visibility across these websites, thus decreasing your overall audience reach.
I’ve come across a few lists of banned instagram hashtags which you should avoid using. IG will either partially censor, or completely block posts containing the following hashtags. Some hashtags are banned temporarily, some forever, some may penalize or even result in your account being banned. (This is just a partial list, and accurate at the time of this blog post).
