As mentioned at the end this episode isn’t sponsored by BeReal.
When it comes to social media, our innocence has been lost. What was once fun and lighthearted has been riddled with scandals ranging from data breaches to depression and social division. What if there was a better way? A new player called BeReal has risen to be currently the most downloaded app in US. It’s the “anti-social media” social media. But will it last? Let’s take a look.

But also like, if it truly wants to be anti-social media, why does the app even need to exist? If people truly only add their close friends, don't want to see ads, and don't use the discovery page, how is this any different than having a group chat with friends where you occasially share photos of whatever you're doing? It just seems like a useless app for something actual groups of friends already do.
The way tik tok took thair whole identity and turned it into a feature
Do not forget if its Free you are the Product or other ways sayed theyre selling collected Information of you Location Pictures (Faces) and more
I think watsup is good for friends
its called be real like damn already expecting shi from me lol
I now understand why the sudden change in beahavior from certain groups of people after watching two mins of this video and all I can say is HISSSSSSS, I GONNA SCRACTCH YOU!
The only honest social medium is PornHub.
and here I thought this "anti-social" media will filter other applications in our devices to train us not to depend too much in it lol
I'm 22 and have never heard of this app in my life.
If ppl won't get real, social media will just die. We are tired of fake-looking models, hyper reality, fake accounts, fake comments, and fake photos and names.
The fuck you mean most downloaded… 10mil+ on google play is nothing compared to Twitter, TikTok or Instagram which all have 1B+. That is some next-level clickbait.
Me, listening to the former facebook executive as someone who never touched a single social media app beside whatsapp for family and friends for my entire life:
"I like your funny words magic man."
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was! Now what is it is all strange and scary to me and it will happen to you!
THE FRENCH I SHOULDVE KNOWN
As long as this depends on investors and, in the future, ads, it is doomed to become terrible like every other social media platform.
smartphone ruined us
I have boycotted all social media apps! Happier for it! It’s up to each individual not to give away personal power & become enslaved to these apps!
Facebook and twitter pales in comparison to video games for dopamine rush. There are also plenty of herbal MAO-B inhibitors, many in common food-spices and teas, including green tea and black pepper, that can enhance your dopamine experience.
Most people use it only once.
more apps to get people spend more time with their devices? That's really bad. I just use apps as a tool for editing and creating stuff. Technology is a tool, not our master.
Wtf? I've literally never hear of this app
this sounds like some big brother monitoring with daily 2minutes reports shit.
nothing about being real.
I will use this app only at gunpoint!
Its fucking awful my lass uses it. She gets an alert then waits until a good time to take the picture whixh is basically just a cynial instagram
Wait people are using these apps because they care what people are doing? I thought it was a meme sharing service
i was literally just thinking that this should be necessary
I love BeReal! See so many comments under here saying it gives people anxiety about their life looking too boring. That comes with every social media app though. Personally, I only have my closest circle of 3-4 friends on my BeReal. It's a good way to keep up with each other everyday. 99% of our posts are mundane everyday things but it's still a good way to keep in touch
I really dont have time for this bereal garbage.
Another awesome video Dagogo. I have been watching your stuff on Nebula but it seems I can't send you comments there so I came here.
I tried Facebook for a couple weeks back in my sophomore year of high school (so 2007 I think). It was nothing but people posting images stating “if you love Jesus you’ll send this to all your friends.” After that two weeks I had enough of religious chain mail and deleted the account.
Since then the closest thing I’ve ever had to social media is YouTube, and even then I only created an account to not be stuck with kids videos.
Cool new insight.
God bless insights.
This channel gets me thinking…
Is it ripping about society or are people exposing who they are behind closed doors, because of the anonymity?
Its not going to last because its easier just to delete Instagram then use another app in spite of Instagram. Also those who dont use Instagram don't see any reason to join.
These new french companies like yubo and now this bereal are so dodgy.. yubo brought out a feature that requires u get facially scanned by them in order to use the app..
I had no idea this app existed until now
Lool this must be a joke.. from the comments it appears this apps motto requires users to post on time lool
How is this any different give me a break social media is social media. "Be Fake"
Likely no thanks to the app… A big thanks to you, however. Thank you for being authentic & presenting something of interest to you [+every1's life] – out of genuine interest.. Not just a promotion. ❤️
