Vibe-Copying SaaS Wave Won't Work, Says Dev — Unless You Have Distribution

Developer jonathanwilke questions why his feed is suddenly full of people vibe-copying SaaS apps, arguing it didn't work the last time and won't work this time either.
He flags one exception: @marclou's mail thing works because marclou already has distribution. The core argument: copycat AI SaaS without an existing audience is likely to fail — distribution is the deciding variable, not the product.
