If necessity is the mother of invention then boredom must be the father of apps. This week a new app called VSBRO launched and amassed 60,000 users in a matter of three days, according to Forbes. VSBRO’s description on Apple’s App store reads that it is a “community for bros by bros,” which is astounding, considering that no other such communities created for men by men currently exist online or in real life. Essentially, the app is a cross between Instagram and Twitter with minor bro-y enhancements. Instead of “liking” a photo with a thumbs up like on Facebook, bros can complement each other in bro-appropriate fashion by hitting a tapping a fist bump emoji “like” button. Something about the thumbs-up must have been too womanly.

he had plans soon to talk to “one of the top VCWhile I’m not going to question why adult men need their own app to share photos of themselves skydiving, I do wonder what was so offensively feminine about existing photo-sharing platforms that bros felt unwelcomed. One review left by a user in the Apple App store sheds light on this mystery:

It’s so great to support the bros for once. You go on every other social media and it’s just girl hyping each other up, and us bros never fully get a chance to do the same. This could be due to the social norm that bros don’t compliment other bros, but that’s why I think this app is life changing. I am now able to hype up all my bros without feeling embarrassed or the feeling of being judged by females for just trying to support a fellow bro.
