Tell HN: Couchsurfing.com is now vibe-coded and with official AI generated pics

Today I logged in to Couchsurfing [0] to renew my credit card, even if I had not used this website for years, and to my horror I stumbled upon a sluggish filled with AI-generated website. I had to double-check if I was not on another website by accident. The interface is the stereotype of your typical vibe-coded website: extremely slow, in a weird dark theme and containing a lot of gradient colors. Some if not all official pictures are AI-generated. I have absolutely no idea how someone who does not already know Couchsurfing can think that this is a legitimate website.

I deleted my account. I had the joy to use Couchsurfing and even host people in the past, but I guess it is time to mourn the loss of the Internet I beloved and move on.
