My extruder is vibrating instead of feeding. If anyone has any advice I would appreciate it because I am dumb.
Anyone know why my extruder is vibrating

I had a similar issue and it was a bad stepper motor. The bearings on these are just wide open and a bunch of filament dust had worked it's way into them. Turning the motor shaft by hand you could feel it get tight at certain points in the rotation. I just swapped in a new motor but you may be able to clean it out if you want to save the $9.

Looks like a bad stepper motor.
I would suggest checking by removing the extruded motor and seeing if it still works. If the motor is the same as your x/y motors, you can also swap the e-motor input to one and ensure it’s not something upstream.
(It could also be motor voltage, but that’s far less likely unless you were tweaking things,)

You figure this out?
