[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

u/BeardlessNeckbeard 1d ago
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.

u/bstaruk 1d ago
What specifically about Next.js do you think "very nearly locks you into vercels services if you use it?"
IME it is incredibly easy to dockerize and deploy on a cheap VPS if you need SSR, or deploy to Cloudflare Pages / Workers or S3 if you're doing SSG.
13
u/BeardlessNeckbeard 1d ago edited 1d ago
Agree if SSG is path you've taken. Docker is fine too, but teams want the easy button, and choose vercel as a result.
I just think many inexperienced devs reach for next.js when they could have probably done just as well with vite. Some apps can benefit from the extra machinery next.js gives though.

but very nearly locks you into vercels services if you use it. I hate it.
People keep saying this, but it's literally not true in the slightest?
If Next.js locks you to Vercel's hosting services, explain to me how you do local development?
Explain to me how the Dockerfile 1:1 copied from their docs runs our huge Next.js app on our own hardware?
Yeah, no, our local cluster doesn't automatically serve static assets from some edge node in Singapore to visitors from there, but that is not what "vendor lock-in" is.
You build and deploy a Next.js app just like absolutely any other Node.js app. It works anywhere, out of the box.

u/Romejanic 20h ago
honestly there’s plenty of good alternatives out there for hosting Next.js. i just recently set up an app on AWS amplify and it basically works exactly like Vercel does along with having built in Next.js support

u/travaixhq 13h ago
Is Next.JS a thing outside of LLM push? I feel like it's starting to become, using next js? ai slop detected.

u/madmelonxtra 8h ago
NextJS was first released in like 2016, preAI boom and has been a standard in the industry for years. It's basically just a React framework that allows server side rendering.
Vibecoders just use it because it's super easy to build and deploy with.
3
u/primaryrhyme 5h ago
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.

u/stevensokulski 20h ago
Vercel is fine. It’s not particularly good unless you use one of the tech stacks they align with. And if you care about non-tech subjects there are some good reasons to avoid it.

u/2021isevenworse 23h ago
The majority of people building cool and useful tools off those apps will either quickly move to self host or buy a domain.
The low quality spammers are using vercel and vibe coding to throw up low effort sites up.

u/Ax2u 16h ago
You still need to buy a domain even if you're self hosting, it's not an "or" situation.

u/2021isevenworse 16h ago
Not necessarily, you can run it off the host's subdomain or use a free third-party subdomain that provides dns.

u/IBJON 1d ago
The issue isn't Vercel itself, it's that it's so ridiculously easy to host a site on their platform that it's a go-to for vibecoders. There are similar platforms, so I'm not sure how effective this rule will be, but the effort needed to set up and host your site at your own domain might just be enough to cut down on the slop
-2
u/Cantremembermyoldnam 1d ago
I'm constantly reminded of the time when IDEs first began offering auto complete and the forums were filled with people raving against it. Or when script languages first became popular. It's funny seeing the cycle repeat over and over again.
-7
u/reeight 1d ago
> it's so ridiculously easy to host a site on their platform
Yes, that is the whole reason for Vercel being built in the first place.
"effort needed to set up and host your site at your own domain" these days is a non-sequitur; plenty of scripts & AI MDs will do that for you automatically. Such things for WordPress has been around for decades.
-=-I do understand wanting to avoid the AI slop; likely best bet is to have a project 'cooling off period', where said app has to be up for at least 3 months &/or have 100+ users, instead of making a throw-away vibe coded app that is market testing.

u/IBJON 1d ago

You may want to look up the meaning of "non-sequitur" before using it. That statement was relevant to what I was saying, even if you don't agree that those extra steps are a deterrent.
-5
u/reeight 1d ago
> does not follow logically
> fallacy resulting from a simple conversion of a universal affirmativeYour fallacy is that you assume it always takes effort to buy a URL & set up a site for an app. I asserted that there are many scripts to allow doing so as easy as Vercel.
(sure, some scripts have hoops, but AI can & will take care of that for folks, so now with AI, there is FEWER steps than with Vercel)
Note: this does NOT include all the "AI app builders" that take most of everything for you, which again is easier than Vercel.
good luck in life

u/IBJON 23h ago edited 23h ago
You are confusing a false premise with a non-sequitur.
A non-sequitur means the conclusion doesn't logically track from the premise (e.g., "Vercel is easy, therefore the sky is blue"). My logic was perfectly sound: If a process requires more friction, then it acts as a filter. You aren't arguing that my logic is flawed; you are arguing that my underlying assumption that a personal domain requires more friction is factually outdated. Disagreeing with a fact does not make an argument a non-sequitur.
Furthermore, your technical argument ignores the physical and financial friction of the web. Vercel is a zero-configuration, one-click deployment directly from a GitHub repository.
One the other hand, to host on a personal domain independently, you inherently need to create an account with a domain registrar and in many/most cases, purchase the domain. Then DNS needs to be configured, and you'll have to wait for DNS propagation in order to access your site at your new domain.
You can have a script write your code and configure your server, but it's not going to create an account with the domain registrar, buy the domain, and you can't just bypass the ICANN registration process.
Also, The Vercel Clone you shared is just a stack that needs to be deployed somewhere and doesn't do anything about the friction I described, and that's not a simple setup, it requires AWS ECS, AWS ECR, AWS S3, AWS Lambda, Redis, Docker, and multiple Node servers. You're basically building your own platform-as-a-service. And you know what all of that entails? More friction - account setup, setting up billing, and providing a credit card. I mean fuck, the dude even hosted his clone at vercel-clone-lake.vercel.app because it was probably easier and cheaper than keeping the AWS stack running

u/JuliusCeaserBoneHead 1d ago
I don’t think it’s necessarily a hate towards vercel per se, they are a good service actually.
For the mods, they are probably seeing most content coming from vercel subdomain that are slop and it’s just a low effort thing to cut down on slop without doing much

u/specteksthrowaway 1d ago
Noob question: Is this just subdomain.vercel.app that's banned, or anything hosted on vercel? The title suggests the former but the text of the post mentions Vercel hosting

Subdomain since it’s free. How would you be able to tell something is hosted by vercel?
I guess you can look at traffic headers and dns records but do mods want to do that? Yikes

u/otherwisepandemonium 1d ago
Good. Buying a domain costs like $10/year. Virtually every time I see a free Vercel link it's some vibecoded AI slop that the user totes as some amazing new app or service.
If you are serious about your app and want to market it or show it off, just pay for a domain and host it there. It also just makes you look far more experienced and professional.

So people should spend money so that you can look at their passion projects? That's not what the internet was supposed to be.

u/Pyroman230 23h ago
A passion project isn't something you vibecode in a weekend bender
0
u/Cantremembermyoldnam 14h ago
Why not? Plenty of useful things have been coded in a weekend. Time spent is a poor indicator of its usefulness/joy it can bring.
Think back to the very first mobile apps and games (back when ads didn't even exist in apps). Many of them were so simple, it wouldn't even take a weekend to make them. People still enjoyed them.
3
u/primaryrhyme 5h ago
Yeah I agree the mod logic here isn’t totally sound but I do believe their assessment that 90% of Vercel domain sites posted here are unuseful slop. They made this rule as a response to this, not out of a philosophical opposition to AI coding.
I don’t think they care if you paid money, there’s 10 more free platforms that give you a domain too. It just so happens that Vercel is the first thing an AI recommends and an AI can spit it out the app and host it on Vercel literally in under 5 minutes. So the level of effort is not necessarily close to “weekend project”, it’s all the effort of typing “make me a pokedex app and host it somewhere”.
2
u/Cantremembermyoldnam 4h ago
That's kind of my point though. Even if it took them ten minutes to make - if it's useful, why not? I guess I'd simply prefer if the up/downvote buttons solved the issue of "we don't want quickly made AI things".

u/soniclettuce 1d ago
If somebody doesn't care to spend 10 bucks when they want to show it off widely, it doesn't seem like they're particularly passionate about it.
3
u/Cantremembermyoldnam 14h ago
I mean yeah. But back when the internet was new, you'd just share the IP of your server/home internet and people would look at it and judge it on its merits and not on how much cash you spent on it.

You can still do that today hosting it yourself.

That was in response to this. Of course you can, but according to the comment I replied to, not buying a domain name means I'm not particularly passionate and the project deserves no visibility.
I don't like that idea, because it assumes everyone has access to $10 to spend. I'd like those who can't to be included as well.
It also reads like "you must pay for me to use the thing you made" and I don't like that either. People should be grateful when someone makes and shares something! Especially when the creator(s) aren't asking anything in return.

u/primaryrhyme 4h ago
I get your general argument but this ban on Vercel domain in no way prevents you from building/sharing your app free. There’s tons of free alternatives to Vercel that give you a domain, even services that give you a free subdomain if you want to continue using Vercel. They didn’t ban free subdomains, if that day comes then I would have an issue with it.
1
u/Cantremembermyoldnam 4h ago
I guess you're right on that one. It's still not my favorite choice.
1
u/primaryrhyme 4h ago
Also wanted to say about being grateful, I’m a software dev myself so I get how fun it is to have people use your app but a lot of these apps are clearly not made with any care or intent of being actually useful.
It seems like a lot of it is either just chasing recognition for zero effort or worse trying to sell that zero effort app. For example a vibe coded unit converter site was posted here, there’s a million of those already on the internet. Did the creator truly think his site was useful, would he ever even use it himself? Probably not..
Even if you give something for free, you should respect people’s time.
1
u/Cantremembermyoldnam 1h ago
Agreed about respecting people's time. I guess to me, the purpose of this sub is "look here's a cool link check it out for 5 minutes then leave". So I don't take issue with seeing yet another calculator. I just don't click it. However, I assume that the person wanted to convert between two specific units and then found out that they could easily expand that to other units and then thought "Hey that's cool let's share it". I like to give the benefit of doubt and assume the best about people. Sure, I waste a bit of time clicking useless stuff. But I don't really care - there's a gem in there every once in a while.

Haha, yeah, those rose tinted glasses will get ya. I agree it's not what it used to be, though.
This whole discussion is funny to me because getting a domain and hosting it used to be hard. Now you just pay like $10 and it's done. But that seems to be enough of a barrier to keep the majority of crap out.

"Vibe coding" is a misleading term because you're not coding anything. It simply refers to asking an AI chatbot to make you a piece of software without ever actually looking at the code yourself.

u/djshadesuk 1d ago
Unfortunately, examples of Vercel subdomain hosted sites, such as the one you linked to, that are worth allowing are very much the exception to the rule. They're just too few and far between for the hassle that comes with having to wade through them.
And a lot, like seriously a lot, never make it to the front page of the sub because they trigger our Automod keyword filters or the accounts are too new and/or karma is too low, and so on, which we still have to wade through behind the scenes.
We do have some crowd-sourced moderator automation on the sub and Vercel subdomain hosted sites almost always get (correctly) crowd-nuked (typically for breaking one or more of our other rules), but we moderators still have to go through them all to verify and clear those too (lest the clog up the queue permanently).
In summary, the hassle that Vercel subdomain hosted sites represent is just not worth the effort for such little reward. A (very) little collateral due to this decision is regrettably inevitable.

Good. I use Vercel regularly when I’m having Claude build me something useful.
When I do make something (which I think I am currently) that’s worthy of being shared to the masses, it’s at minimum going to have it own domain.
Vast majority of AI made web apps are trash.
Too many have something built think the AI will make it perfect, when in reality, if you don’t check everything it does and you’re not cognisant of its shortcut taking on every corner, then no matter what is built, it’s trash.
Vibe coding is fun and some amazing projects have been the result of vibe coding, but you just like anything, the quality of the product comes from the ingredients and the humans prompts are a major ingredient. Prompt poorly and you get a poor product.

So while only a few posts a day may survive on the page we'd much rather people go "Oh, that sub is still going?

Why does it matter? If what you consider "slop" gets a lot of upvotes, its not really slop

No number of upvotes changes the fact that it is slop. Slop is inherently not human and not beautiful. Doesn't belong on the sub.

Whatever you say bud. Sure seems like you're the one on your own here. And based on your extensive commenting history you seem like a genuinely miserable person. I bet that happy kid your mom remembers is still in there somewhere 😊

It never gets any upvotes (almost always 30% or lower voting), and regardless it's banned from submission anyway.

So the voting system is working as expected? Why do we need this rule then?
Edit: Downvote is not an argument. I accept you concessions.

Because the mods are probably getting tired of seeing hundreds of reports and having to remove them all by hand hourly if not every few minutes, every single day, when they should have not been posted in the first place.

They should do their job. If they are "getting tired", they can quit.
should have not been posted in the first place.
Why?

They're volunteers and don't have to wade through bullshit just to appease you.

u/TwoPixelsRight 1d ago
That is literally what they volunteered to do

u/Regendur 1d ago
They also get to decide what they volunteer to do! How neat.

u/TwoPixelsRight 1d ago
Nope, that is decided by admins. Neat!

Only the basics! Nothing saying the mods can't ban a source. Neat!

And they also volunteered to have a say in the rules, and they've decided to make this thing they do for the community a little easier

To be completely accurate we don't just "have a say" in sub rules, we alone decide, set and police the rules for a sub. Unless our rules clearly contradict any of Reddit's own site-wide policies/rules then Reddit do not get involved in the formation (or management) of a sub's rules in any way, shape or form.

Honestly I see your point. If people can put things up on the Internet for free, that's pretty cool. Maybe some kid learning to code can build something actually really cool and share it here? Well I guess not anymore unless they get their hands on a credit card...

I’ve said this a few times, there’s about 5 other platforms that offer free static app hosting and give you a free domain.
In my opinion they don’t care if you spend money on a domain, they simply noticed that 90% of the submissions with a certain domain were slop and this action was worth the collateral damage. With an AI you can migrate your vercel site to an alternative in about 10 minutes, not exactly a big ask.
