I’ve read through several comments and I personally feel like

1. More tags creates more freedom to identify a post. Yes, these new tags will eventually become crowded as well, therefore

2. Limitations on tags. For instance, when using the “photography” tag, it would make sense to analyze the photo to make sure it meets certain requirements. Beautiful images can be captured from phones these days, and can meet general requirements regarding image quality and size. In addition, creating “sub tags” so to speak would allow for those wanting to share photos that may not meet the “photography” criteria, but most certainly will meet the “snapshot” tag, which is more general and self defined as a quick shot of something, not necessarily a noteworthy image.

3. We can utilize the Steemit community to generate useful tags. I am a new steemian so this is simply an idea that my fellow, more versed Steemians can develop.

4. Is there a way to limit tag use for a period of time? Maybe an “allotment” of tags can be created somehow to keep crowding at bay. This allotment would regenerate on a consistent basis somehow, so that older posts are cataloged or archived somehow and marked as a non-active tag of some sort? Again, this idea is simply that, without any knowledge of knowing if it could truly exist.
