Sorry, I forgot to make it clear that the point was that your "maybe in the future..." is already the same as how it works now. No difference.

Not necessarily. I follow hashtags. Hashtags have been known to be abused by advertisers. If an advertiser uses a hashtag that I follow, it will appear in my feed. In my example, that wouldn't be possible.

They can also appear in the "explore" section if it received sufficient engagement.
