Vibecoding turned open-source software projects into a spam attack vector.

Before that you could expect high quality projects from a huge percentage of all apps, so acting on a message like "hey, I made this app, please try" was often a good use of your time.

These days there are at least 10x more of such apps, so assuming rationality the default reaction to "hey, I made this app, please try" will eventually become to not even look, or people will only look at apps from well-known creators.

Considering this it might be that rather than "democratizing" the creation of software vibecoding made it harder for a newcomer without reputation or reach to get their app in front of the eyes of others.

That's true, it's very easy now to make something that looks functional on the surface. But in my experience to make a real app, not a prototype, experienced dev work is still required.
