Re: Be Real – App that notifies friends simultaneously to capture and share a photo
#12This sounded fun but I was immediately turned off due to the first two questions being full name and birthday. Maybe it’s required due to regulations somewhere but that’s not the type of thing I am willing to give out to try an app.
I think it is reasonable to give your birthday +/- a few days.

#13I feel like if my life was interesting enough for my photos to not be boring I wouldn't be bored enough to look at the pictures from other people.

#14Does anyone else know an app that offers Be Real's "bothie" format of photo without the baggage of social? I'm on Android.

The whole point is that they are supposed to be "boring" because everyones life is boring. It's the same reason you ask "Hey what are you up to" when you first call someone on the phone. You don't expect them to say, "About to launch into space with Elon Musk"
It's an app for your friends, not to follow influencers (unless you want to see the "real" life of an influencer)

#16A good article on the app, https://slate.com/human-interest/2022/05/bereal-app-guide-ex..., complete with kids trying to game it by hanging around the Eiffel Tower until it was time to post https://www.tiktok.com/@hannahmorris74/video/707983303543624...

Christ I hate when people do that. It's like they want to be the arbiter of whether I'm using my time wisely. If you call someone up you should tell them what you want and let them decide whether they want to participate.

Or maybe giving the other person the chance to say they're busy first is more polite because they don't have to decline after they know what's on offer.

Or maybe they are curious about your life and are not judging you or want anything at all...
I mean if you don't want to connect with people then no worries but asking what someone is doing doesn't have to be malicious or transactional

But what about friends?
