I think mi ctr and my view time is good but it looks like my videos just dont reach a lot of people, I was wondering if maybe the problem are the tags I use, how do you choose you tags?
#How do you get the tags for your videos and what has worked the best for you?

From my experience, tags don't matter. I have 2 monetized channels, both of them don't have tags.

Hey Darckarian. When it comes to tags, make sure you’re using the correct amount. It’s usually suggested you use between 5-8. You also want to choose tags that are relevant to the type of content you’re doing. Try doing this and see if anything changes!

Tags are only relevant for common misspellings:
I only partly agree.
@viscid plinth
Tags can be important depending on the content you make. When you have a ranked tag in your video, it can be easier to find.
Ranked tags essentially are a metric telling you how much easier it is to find the video when something similar to the tag or your video title is searched.
#1 ranked tag means it would be one of the front page/top videos on the search page.
It can be important for tutorials, niche content, or branding.
Every single time I make a video I fill tags up with everything relevant to my video, to search terms that relate to the content, or something I said in the video.
It can help small channels be discovered.
My first video ever was ranked #6 tag for the challenge I made a video on, even though I had no subscribers.
That discovery skyrocketed it to a few thousand views and 400 subscribers. This is definitely an outlier, but it shows my point.
I would love to talk more about your niche, the content you want to make, and how tags would affect it.

YouTube notes that tags play a minimal role: #1196405993752514610 message

but as a small channel should I pay more attention to them? because i guess they start being less important but only once you have a good following no?

It's not imperative. Like this video says, YouTube doesn't need tags to find out what your video is about.... that's why it says that tags are mostly for misspelling now.
Why not do it, though if it doesn't hurt.

Exactly.... keyword from my first post is can help
In all honesty though, if you don't have the time or tools to make tagging easier... it's fine.
Tagging hasn't been relevant for like 6-7 years at this point, I think

but what are some good tools for example, like vidiq?

Don't waste your time – tagging only helps for commonly misspelled words.
