Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.

Bereal is great, you get a notification and take a picture, front and rear camera, that's all you get for the day, then you can see what your friends are up to.

By far my favorite social media.

I get it but man, I'd never want to post pics of myself on the Internet for anyone to see. I also don't think anyone would wanna see me anyway. ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

You don't actually have to take a photo of yourself. If you're quick enough you can just move the front facing camera to take a photo of the ceiling.

That's what I do on days I don't want to take a photo of myself.

This sounds so bizarre to me. "If you're quick enough"? What happens if you aren't? What kind of insane, voluntary 1984-esque nightmare is this app?

I mean like you take a photo with your rear camera and once that's taken it'll load up your front camera to take a photo but you can move it so it doesn't take a photo of you. Kind of like a countdown timer.

If you're not quick enough you just don't post a pic that day.
