Official Reddit app now doesn't even make it into the Austrian "Top 200 for 0€ Social" Google Play Store category anymore...
It used to be in the top 5 - 10 until r/place ended... "Infinity" is currently entry 154 and the only Reddit client to make it into the top 200...
To dampen the mood: no Lemmy client makes the top 200 either since Sync lost its hype...

Edit: Sry for the low image quality, I rescaled my screenshot to get it below the 100kb media upload limit of my instance and it looked fine in the gallery. I should have outsourced my upload...

It's a relatively new social media app. Once a day you have 2 minute timer where you can take a picture. All your friends post at the same time.
The idea is that you post what you do at the moment without prepering much. You don't post the best pics or try to pretend that lots of intresting stuff happens in your life, but what you actually do in the moment.
The problem is monetisation. You don't use the app much longer than a minute a day and it doesn't have any ads. So I don't know how low they're able to do this without shutting down
And if you don't have any friends IRL that use it, it's pretty boring
Sounds like an excellent idea for some top-notch data farming.
That can be said about any app.
Unprepared pictures are a treasure trove for behavioural analysis tho
That's only true when they are truly unprepared. What actually happens is that people just take a prepared shot in the moment. You usually have a big enough time window anyway and you can submit late.
Well that sounds somewhat less bad tho, just… also less fun 😅
It's actually more fun. You also get rewarded with two extra pictures you can take whenever you want if you post on time and get blamed when you post a late by telling everyone you were late and how much you were late.
It’s 99% people sitting in front of a computer
Or lying in bed
Welcome to 2023!
Kill your cellphone.
They could make you watch an ad to take your BeReal. They’d have to sell the one spot for a lot though. And people are already too lazy to take the pic when they’re supposed to a lot so they’d probably just lose most of their members.
