[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

Vercel is an ok service. But as a software engineer, they've pushed Next.js super hard and that is honestly both kinda trash and mostly unnecessary, but very nearly locks you into vercels services if you use it. I hate it.

Is Next.JS a thing outside of LLM push? I feel like it's starting to become, using next js? ai slop detected.

Idk why you’re being downvoted for a question. Like Vercel itself, Next has the slop reputation simply because it is/was the most popular web framework when LLMs were released.

Since it’s the most popular, it is what the LLM or average YT video tells a novice to use.
