    Giving a user the ability to find posts from a subject they are interested in, even if the post is from a brand new user with 0 followers, that functionality is just too damn useful to do away with completely.

I agree. I am not going to get rid of tags. However, I do think that they need to be reworked with an emphasis on content discovery rather than on content curation. I'm right in the middle of a rework that I am starting to dig. I think if used the right way, we can remove some of the negatives associated with tags, and accentuate some of the positives.
