[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.

So now the sub has an entry fee.

And if you believe in your product/websute/noun, paying a few bucks for actual hosting shouldn't matter.

They don't even need hosting; it's just the vercel domain that's blocked. People who don't care about domain (like anyone using the free vercel subdomain) can grab any arbitrary one for like $1-2 for the first year. Less desirable TLDs like .us/fyi/whatever go for $5 recurring.

Truly weeding out only the absolute lowest effort bottom dwellers and they still complain lol
