No kidding. I don't use a hashtag or even mention a brand name online without understanding the consequences.

No, this is wrong. We should have an ability to discuss any brand however we like without said brand pulling it into their marketing engine.

Say crappy things about a brand online and I promise it won`t go in the marketing engine. What positive things are you saying publicly about a brand with hashtags that you also are trying to protect from being reused?

Honestly though, I don't really advocate the way corporations do these things but I'm also in support of using my brain before posting content given the current circumstances.
