The standards of common decency and taste, that’s who.

Let’s take a step back. Sharing content online is wonderful. It’s pretty much what made the internet what it is today.

The knack is to understand what you’re sharing, to whom, and why.

If you were born before around 1980 you’ll know that there was the Geocities era. Every high-school nerd had a homepage (mine was in Vienna since you’re asking).

Just because I built a homepage on Geocities, complete with 'Under Construction' anigifs, a web counter and a web ring banner, does not mean that I should be sharing it to anyone who’ll listen. Amongst my friends, sure. My parents, of course—they’ll be proud of anything I build. But to the general internet? Who cares.

And now with AI-generated content, whether a vibe-coded app or a blog post, the same applies. The internet went through a collective convulsion in early 2026 as everyone discovered the power of Claude Opus 4.5 (and don’t get me wrong, it is damn cool). And what does anyone do when they discover anything neat? They want to share it with their friends!

Combine that with the deafening AI-hype machine of grifters already in overdrive—and suddenly subreddits and Slacks are overrun with AI-generated material.
