The author observes the indie hacking community becoming nepotistic: creators happily vibecode popular businesses, but once their own business gets vibecoded, they try to protect their community and suppress outsiders. Quoted context: 99% of Marc Lou's customers won't hear about you, and few will plug revenue analytics into a stranger's app for free. Moral: stop idealizing creators.
