I think it’s strange to dislike vibe coded things. I’ve seen a lot of cool stuff that’s mostly vibe coded. fomo.nyc for example. The problem is mostly the intention. I think a lot of vibe coded stuff isn’t solving a problem someone has its someone trying to seek profit. It’s no different from when smartphones first came out and people wanted to make a for everything when most of them didn’t solve any problems. The difference is nobody is wowed anymore by anything so your app that turns your phone into a beer kind of thing doesn’t exist in the vibe coded world.

Maybe because you're not an actibe member of one of those fields whose subreddits now gets these vibecoded tools every other day. Because for those, I can tell you that the overwhelming majority isn't cool. Even when they are trying to solve a problem and aren't (yet) seeking a profit. They have very little time, energy and thought put into them. They're made by people who are passers-by, who aren't personally invested and often haven't experienced the problem first-hand; it's just a problem they heard about, or assumed would exist. And that leads to things that are a waste of time. Often they have blatantly obvious problems that show they didn't even QA it for an hour.
And to top it all off, they frrquently even vibe code their reddit posts. There is absolutely nothing of interest to interact with those posts.
The amount of reddit posts I land on from the last few years which are noticeable longer with no added value for the increased length than they would have been in the past is getting very annoying.
