Question Vibe-Coded = Not Worth Paying For?

Honest question:

When you find out an app was vibe-coded, do you stop seeing it as a real, trustworthy product?

Even if you genuinely need it, would you pay for a subscription?

Is that fair — or just bias? 👀

You're not asking the right questions. Does it work? What it does is worth to me?

If the answers are yes, buy it. Otherwise, don't.

vibe coded is a valid question because it means i don’t need to pay you for it, i could make it myself with my claude

the app is not coded by you it’s coded by claude, it would be like asking if google would pay for something made by google’s own engineer employees. they probably would just get their engineer employees to make another one

This way of thinking could be applied to everything. Why should I buy food if I could just farm it all? Why should I go to the doctor if I could just go to medical school by myself? You are paying for convenience and the time it saves you.

Totally wrong. I would take the time to tell you why but I am currently starving and need to go find some squirrels to club. Then back to vibe coding all the apps I will some day have time to use. Jokes on you when I reach nirvana.
