the worst part: the ads are from facebook

Never heard of it, what is this BeReal stuff?

So it’s like social media?

Yeah, the social pressure is to keep the streak up and you see other's streak - at least thats my understanding. Never had it 💁😂

How bizarre

i don’t think the streak is as much importance, it’s more about posting right away, when the app’s countdown goes off

Ooo. Always in picture formats or with text?

it’s always in picture format, and it’s supposed to be only for your closest friends. so i have like 10 people on it, and it’s funny and cute bc you see your friends eating dinner or using the toilet lol

Ahh yes, forgot about the counte. Now i understand

for posting in the moment, without planning. editing etc

It was inevitable. I remember the first time a friend showed me the app and all i was thinking was “hmmm how does this app make money?”

How prominent/annoying are they?

i was wondering that too!

they rolled out bereal accounts for companies (so i’m assuming the companies paid to be seen by users), but i guess it didn’t work bc now they have an ad almost between every post.

and they’re ugly ads lol

Lol BeReal is still around? All centralised tech has to monetise, who is going to pay for the server costs

besides nostr, it’s the only social media i would use 😭 i was naive and thought they just wanted people to be real.

oh well. 😔
