When AI makes building a product trivial and floods the web with generic content, marketing inverts: distribution becomes the moat, and distribution increasingly means being the source AI answer engines and buying agents cite and recommend.

The cheapest way to get your first users for a vibe-coded app is organic short-video: post native-looking TikToks and Reels from accounts that read like your target user, and convert people in the comments — no ads, no influencers.

The founder of nomadtable grew it past a million downloads, solo, by ignoring view counts and chasing one number: how many people keep watching past the first three seconds. Here's that UGC playbook, with his real figures attributed throughout.
