okay but for real what % of everyone's friends wait to BeReal until they are doing something cool? or until they hit the perfect angle?

listen the whole interaction of having little emojis where you just send your friends tiny selfies of you making ridiculous faces that look like their face that day is 10/10 here to stay best app

I struggle to see the moat for a social phenomenon that is trivial to reproduce in apps with better distribution

Great concept and vision. Not sure people are ready to share their real life. Less sure that others want to see it. We are enamored by what we dream of for ourselves. In most cases, it's just that - a dream.

Fad, it has Meerkat or Periscope (pre-twitter acquisition) vibes

fad โ€” people have already started to curate posts. Its differentiator is too flimsy.

there's definitively a sticky component to their vision of social. just a matter if they adapt well and find good monetization flows.

i don't *get* BeReal, like i dont see the appeal? maybe its just not for me? i feel like every BeReal would just be me and a monitor w/ vscode open.

Best analysis Iโ€™ve heard: - stories is easy to copy for IG because it needs the same social graph (friends) - Tik Tok is hard to copy for IG because it uses a different social graph (topics) Is BeReal just a feature? Likely a yes: closer to stories -> feature of friends graph.

fad - IG will copy the feature, wrap it into one app where all your friends are already there, and numbers will slowly drop off over time a la Snapchat stories

Stay. Its main value has little to do with the feature and more the fact that itโ€™s a chance to build a fresh new social graph from scratch (which some but not all people love).

It has some ways to go before it becomes a fad. IMO it becomes a fad when BeReal is a commonly used verb. Otherwise, Iโ€™m a fan and hope it stays around.

Not sure about BeReal in particular but I could see it being the first of a new wave of popular apps/products whose value prop is minimalism, i.e. โ€œless is moreโ€ / โ€œfewer features/posts is betterโ€

i think a fad and also donโ€™t think itโ€™ll be a feature of popular apps - the more ppl you accept the worse the experience gets - youโ€™re forced out of the experience by not participating (canโ€™t see others posts without posting), opposite of sticky
