I have sympathy for the situation of an artist in need of reaching a wide audience. If someone posts an image of a painting, say, and they add a handful of hashtags that are all relevant and non-redundant, I can't imagine many will complain.

Walls of almost identical hashtags just to be picked up by those too lazy to use variants of their keyword? That strikes me as bad taste. Nobody should be harrassed, but an unfollow or block seem the natural response. Does the artist want that?
