If you lie on Twitter and hype vibe coding you get a lot of engagement.

Twitter will actually PAY you if you get likes and comments on your tweet. So there’s a financial incentive.

I'm getting sick and tired of people on Twitter/X making wild claims that they can build a profitable app with 100% vibe coding so I started poking around and can almost always find a business destroying vulnerability.

In this case it was a user claiming their app is doing $60k MRR while, get this, building a vibe coding management platform & boilerplate. Quite the house of cards.

Please continue to report business destroying vulns. The only thing that slows hype down is consequences.

These can both be true. But, maybe in this case it's just a scam.

Even if he did make the money he claims, he is selling the idea that "you too can make money by exposing all your users private info."
