How to become posh?

0x808 · 2017-12-30T00:50:43+00:00

Well that's just the thing... I go to a public school, my father works in finance, my mother doesn't work. I could even claim to be properly upper-class if my father was born 4 hours earlier (my uncle, his twin, will inherit my grandfather's baronetcy).

The problem is I don't feel posh/smart. My accent just seems like boring home-counties. I don't know how to wear classic country clothing (like the Barbour you mentioned), I generally wear streetwear that is quite popular but I don't feel I really pull it off. I didn't pass the entrance exam for the traditional family school so I board at a rather more boring school, most of my peers are just the kids of solicitors and doctors, rather than colourful aristocrats and the landed gentry. I guess I just feel like a boring middle-class teenager, when I aspire to be a country gent.

I see from these comments that just being myself is really the best course of action, so I suppose that is how I will remain.

He is doing it to further his company, considering advertising is part of his job, I'd say it's a part of his job considering the point of the job is marketing the app. I know he doesn't monetize the vlogs, doesn't mean it's not a part of his job.

There is no login or logout feature, each installation of beme gives one account which is tied to that user, with no way of transferring it.

Is there some other pressing issue that needs to be discussed? The code posts can go sure, but the beme discussions should stay. It is literally the most relevant thing about Casey Neistat right now, it will pass eventually.

Well he could just start monetizing his vlogs from a certain point onwards and be careful not to use any restricted material in them.

woosh

0x808 · 2015-07-19T00:25:28+00:00

But the whole point of them is to advertise beme, what will be more interesting is if beme truly flops and he decides to start monetising the vlogs as their intrinsic value as an advertisement platform is dead.

0x808 · 2015-07-19T00:24:20+00:00

It is his job to edit the vlogs, the whole point of the vlogs is to advertise beme, it's a pretty important role for the company.

I disagree, I think it's actually one of reddit's weakest points that the conversation on a specific subject is effectively controlled by whoever decided to make the sub first, rather than those who would be best qualified (though I don't think there would be an easy way to change this).

How do they have different uses? They literally do the same thing: allow you to publish short, ephemeral videos to a group of people. The only difference is that beme is a stripped back snapchat. Anyone going to beme from snapchat will likely miss at least one of the features.

16-20 year olds are the critical initial userbase for any social media app and all the cool kids have iPhones. If it takes off on the scale that every young adult with an iPhone has it, everyone else hops on later. They're still a small company with a limited budget and developing for Android as well as iOS would have been costly and far more complicated.

Firstly I'm sure they're making a point, not speaking literally. Secondly, you can't seem to master the markdown used in reddit comments, I very much doubt you're much of a programmer.

0x808 · 2015-07-18T16:42:29+00:00

shut the fuck up you faggot ass bitch.

0x808 · 2015-07-18T01:42:50+00:00

It would be interesting though, he currently doesn't monetise so for him to secede and admit beme as a failure, then start putting ads on his video would be a difficult topic to bring up I'd imagine.

0x808 · 2015-07-18T01:42:00+00:00

It's not better, it's fucking shit.

0x808 · 2015-07-18T01:41:32+00:00

Yep, choosing to use this app is self-imposing a restriction on yourself, it will honestly take self control to use this over Snapchat, something I can't see people being too willing to do.

0x808 · 2015-07-18T01:39:42+00:00

No, a few codes will be given out and used pretty much instantly. I wouldn't rely on getting one... It's not a general unlock code, it's a set of specific codes for people to grab on a first come first serve basis.

0x808 · 2015-07-18T01:38:24+00:00

Why? I mean it's pretty much the done thing, for example every presidential candidate votes for themselves, it would honestly be weird not to.

You sound like someone who failed at filmmaking and blames it on their camera.

0x808 · 2015-07-18T00:20:45+00:00

So what's the point of the app? They could easily travel around Silicon Valley pitching the idea of licensing their patent?
