    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst BeReal is the latest Social Media lauded by many as the Anti social media and the future in Web3. Its wants to bring back authenticity. But, is that true? Or it is just the latest iteration of normal social media with more sophisticated features but the same tool for companies to harvest our data? Many accuse it of so. some swear for it, probably because it promises a hard break of traditional social media which needs 100% attention and that our lives get around them. Whatever, it's a step, as it means that people at least is becoming aware that traditional social media, while necessary as a communication and expression tool, it's also has lots of disadvantages for individuals and social. Watch here what BeReal and check if you may like it or not. If you are not taken away by traditional social media this can be interesting to try. At least it's curious, and its huge success is a sign of how times are changing. Just now, we can see other social media apps which will explore authenticity and fulfil the appetite of the new gens, especially GenZ which wants healthy ways of connecting. We will see with the time what it happens.
