Well, if people are following you and you start spamming into #music@, you're still going to be spamming their feeds right? At least to me, the @ addition creates a personal space where your shares are collected and can be viewed altogether, showcasing your personal whatevers, as opposed to throwing it on the current giant heap of shares in the same non-@ category. At least in my understanding it does not create a private flow of content where only followers of the @ tag can see it on their feed, i.e. it still counts as a public post.

On the other hand with that aside, the @ allows you to literally create your own secure tag and not just a personal space apart from the big pile. For example, #vibesandjives@# is my #music@.
