Comment on Ask HN: What is your qualitative perception of hashtags?

Comments

My strictly personal view is that they make you sound like an idiot, or a professional marketer.

They should never be used verbally, I think most people can agree on that. However, I don't think using them online makes you sound like an idiot. Adding tags/categories/characteristics to your data can only be advantageous online.
