BeReal deliberately dismantled this machine. In its original form, there are no public like counts, no comment sections open to the world (reactions are limited to "RealMojis"), and no view counters. The primary mode of interaction is the "backlash" (a selfie comment) or simply sending a private message. The only feedback you receive is whether a friend has also posted their BeReal for the day. The experience is synchronic rather than archival. You open the app at the appointed time, see what your friends are doing right now , react, and close it. The emphasis is on connection, not accumulation.
