I am more interested in the fact so many people are spamming the app store. What are they hoping for actually? If you can write a prompt for it, anyone can do it. There's no value in an app like before. I think those times are over.

Maybe the "democratization" of it will bring in fresh ideas. Maybe not. But anyway basically no one will make any money or have any success off these vibe coded apps.

Tens of millions of people finally have the ability to make apps. So they are.

But for billions of people it's still way too high of friction for now. Especially on mobile and iOS. So they download apps.

There's still success to be had too. Distribution is all that's ever really mattered. If you have money to advertise or authority in some niche... you can get users and customers, no matter the slop.

Most of the new people making apps will learn that the hard way like the rest of us, but some will succeed.

You have to rebuild/reinstall the app every week if it’s not published to the App Store. Vibe coded iOS apps are basically worthless if you don’t publish them via the App Store. I would bet much of the flood would be avoided if you could permanently install your own vibe coded apps.
