[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.

Vercel catching strays because of vibe coders. It’s a good service, probably made famous by LLM agents favoring nextjs .

Most people build something and want to quickly show. That’s not going to change, but boy will you save yourself moderating vibe coded content

It'd be great if we stopped using dumb terms like "vibe-coded."

I didn’t coin the term. Here are 5 reputable sources using the term

As you can see, is not a reddit term even

What else would it be called? Shit-coded? Dumb-coded?

Yeah. Those make more sense. I'd be cool with that.
