Nobody has heard of BeReal
BeReal is pretty popular with a lot of the people I know- you might not be in the right social circles who know about it
What is BeReal?
Rapper in Cypress Hill. Oh, no, that's B-Real.
I believe it's an app, where you randomly get a notification and mist poat within then and 2 minutes. It takes a pic of both the front and back cameras on your phone. The idea is that you can't make yourself look good, like with Snapchat filters, or even Instagram where you can find a nice angle or whatever.
What if I'm taking a shit???
It feels like it has a similar stance to what BeMe had but is somewhat successful. Less about you attempting to look perfect and more about every day life. The BeMe idea was to set your camera to record, hold it to your chest to record what ever you were looking at, and before you knew it the video was uploaded to the servers.
I'm having trouble imagining a worse social media experience and I've used both Facebook and the new Reddit site.
