It's not just you — no one is posting on social media anymore
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.

WTF is BeReal?
Like the other comments say it’s an app which prompts users to post a picture at “the same” time. Its not actually the same time due to timezones.
The idea behind it is that you don’t ge to pick the perfect time for a pic when you’re at that great location or you’re looking especially cute. This means you’ll get an insight in the real life of someone.
Practically that means you’ll just see a lot of pictures of your friends whilst they’re laying on the couch 2 feet deep in a bag of crisps.
BeReal hit #1 on the app stores by promising a more genuine social experience. It was popular for months, but the gimmick got boring and it fell off.
Yeah, my friends and I used it a lot for about 6 months before we just stopped because it would start sending notifications at times when we were busy, but I would forget about it after a few minutes since I didn’t care much about using it. Sometimes I was in a lecture hall busy taking notes, other times I wouldn’t even check my phone and miss the notification to post.
It's an app that encourages users at a random time to share an image of their immediate surroundings, trying to kind of push an authentic feel. I remember hearing about it from some memes a year or so ago
So lots of pictures of feet in front of toilets...
Isn't that, like, a massive invasion of privacy?
It's optional so eh, but it doesn't encorurage healthy habits either
No idea. This feels like a stealth ad for whatever that is. They're putting it up there with social media people actually use so maybe people will consider it, but this is literally the first time I've seen the name.
Agree. Never heard of bereal either
Clearly it's Cypress Hill's lead voice ... oh wait... I'm old
