Vibe coding subreddits have major MLM vibes.
“I’m a retired teacher from Iowa. I wanna make an app. I’ve thrown $200 at it and it still doesn’t work.”
“Keep throwing money at it, it’ll work eventually!”
(I totally get experienced programmers saying “today I can’t be arsed, one shot me a quick Python script”—they have the knowledge and experience to know whether the result is acceptable and to fix the bugs. Vibe coding for a non-technical crowd looks like a really shady scam.)
