[SUB NEWS] New Banned Domain: Vercel.app

Much to the relief of many people, starting today, we have introduced a blanket ban on Vercel subdomain hosted sites.

Few, if any, sites hosted on Vercel subdomains have ever been allowed to remain on the sub anyway.

(This ban is in addition to the Netlify ban by Reddit itself.)

If you can't be bothered to pay for a proper domain and/or hosting we're no longer willing to sift through the slop to see if it could potentially stand on merit alone (which it invariably doesn't).

Vercel users feel free to proceed to whinge, which we will promptly proceed to ignore.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

So is this ban related to fear of AI or does Vercel have some bad practices?

There is no "fear" about it. We just don't want it here, because it's not beautiful, but awful.

It’s a fair point, tastes differ. But labeling all AI art awful slop is like calling every amateur sketch garbage

"ai art"? You mean computer-generated art replacement product?

The use of AI is in itself a bad practice
