This is unacceptable. Their automated support responses are completely useless… As a new user with few followers, how am I supposed to make my tweets reach a larger audience without being able to use hashtags? For example, a recent tweet of mine was this…
“New to twitter… Do manual retweets count as a retweet on the original post, or is that just people that hit the retweet button? #confused”
Not really expecting any of my 10 followers to respond I was hoping to add #confused to the post to hopefully reach a larger amount of people, only to find out that I don’t show up under the feed for #confused, rendering the entire post useless. Unless I am missing something? I am about to give up on twitter altogether. This is very demotivating for new users…
