ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching photography search terms on Instagram and score them by how much engagement they're getting relative to how recently they were posted. Hashtags are ranked by the average views of the posts using them, not by how often they appear. The numbers describe those posts, they don't promise results.
