Tags are the most important part of your video. Without them, no one will find your video.

do they work

Yes, they are VERY important. Just a tip though from what I noticed on your channel, stop using the names of popular channels as tags and start tagging what your video is about.

Yeah, we need them for everything in this whole YT world. It's very important!

Tags are one of the ways people find your video if you don't have them like @KGATV said no one will find your videos and you wont get views D:

Tags are very useful. On many occasions I post a video using various tags, end up getting a couple hundred views max on the video, then changing the tags slightly a week later and the views boost up again.

Tags are important so that people will find your video.
I usually use the maximum amount of tags I can add on a vid.

Don't tags also impact what shows up on the right side? Which is useful if you are hoping to have the viewer watch another one of your videos next.

do they work

They are somewhat helpful but the words in your description and especially in your video title have much bigger impact on the search algorithm.

Tags are pretty important. I used to get somewhere between 0-2 views on my videos, but since I've spent hours in researching how to use tags properly, now I can sometimes get 5-10 views.
