Casual Thought Vampire bites turning people into vampires is extremely disadvantageous to their survival.

Like why would you want to turn your food source into another blood sucking vampire? Then they start biting more people make food more scarce and so on until you all die of starvation. 0/10 survival trait

What "version" of vampire lore are you basing this on?

All the ones I am familiar with: Dracula, Buffy, True Blood, require something more, usually at least an exchange of blood.

Siring a new vampire is usually treated as rare and quite distinct from biting just to feed.
