How long ago were you new? I am about 4 weeks in. I do remember the first few times I posted not quite having a hang of the tags. I believe my first post was possibly in steemit. Why? Because, I looked at another post and emulated it.

You have VERY flawed thinking if you believe everyone approaches the problem the same way as you and I. They don't.

Have you ever written any code? If you have then you'll know what I mean. You write code designed to use a specific way, and you drop it in a big user pool and they end up using it in ways you did not predict. This may require making more error correction, or other things to help.

The point is you can't create a platform designed for the public and slam them when they are NEW for not knowing this issue.

I will say I do think most topics I put in #steemit likely were valid for that, but I can't say 100%.

It is also not something I would be sitting there thinking "Should I be doing this?" I make up my own tags, or I look at the list of current tags and I pick 4 (yes I only use 4) that I believe fit my topic.

Yet that is MY procedure. No one taught it to me. I can't guarantee most of the public will do the same thing as me. To expect that they would is ludicrous.
