Hey, I’m wondering about how to use labels and segments.  
  
  
  
Currently I always add/remove labels as actions in campaigns or forms. My segments are always based on these labels.  
  
  
  
I never add (or remove) people directly into a segment. It feels a bit redundant and I’m not sure if this is a good or bad practice.  
  
  
  
How do you guys use Labels?
