Giving People Your Video Ideas

When you see a thread from someone who is asking for video ideas, do you honestly fee thel like you should give them? or do you think they should be able to think for them self? :wtf:

Personally I feel that if someone asks they shouldn't expect some genius ideas, I mean, YOU have your ideas for YOU to do them, right? ;) You're not exactly going to give good ideas away you are capable of making a great video about. Maybe that's a little exaggerated, I guess we can share ideas, but I don't think someone would hand over something brilliant unless it's not 'their thing' if you get what I mean :)

On the other hand, that person decided to start making videos so they should be prepared to think up ideas, that's what making videos is about, right? (unless it's a vlog and improv) Not sure if it's just me...but really though

maybe that's just me seeing this in an odd way, yeah?
 
I completely agree that if you want to make videos, you should come up with your ideas often. I also don't have a problem with giving someone an excellent idea. I feel what makes the video is the presentation, you can have the coolest idea; but if you cant execute it well then its not so special now. I feel that youtube is 60% presentation and 40% planning.
 
I actually agree with you. Part of doing YouTube is coming up with your own ideas. If you can't come up with ideas, maybe you shouldn't be making videos. That's like a famous artist asking what their next song should be about. It's just part of the package. If you consider yourself a YouTuber, you should be able to come up with video ideas.

I personally don't like giving people ideas, at least not great ones. What if that one idea changed everything. What if they became super big and famous because of your idea. That could of been you. YouTube is pretty much a competition. Even though most of us are just having fun and creating content, we all want to be bigger than everyone else. That's just the human race in general. Imagine the creator of McDonalds giving Burger King an idea for a burger (Big Mac). Burger King would probably be larger than McDonalds if that was the case.

I personally hate it when someone with like 4 videos asks for video ideas. I mean, really? Come on. You've barely made anything, don't tell me there is nothing you can think of to make a video about. -.-

haha yeah you totally sumed that up, that has happened to me, I gave my friend an awesome idea and he got super popular from it
 
This is actually the most annoying thing that anyone who is on youtube can do, it seriously annoys me and i would never give up ideas to someone who cant think of their own content
 
Well i always believed that if your doing youtube,"you" have to come up with everything that goes on your "Tube" in order for it to be your original "You" tube, but many just take others ideas and either fail or take and use to gain views successfully like RWJ

Exactly, if that can't think of videos to make, maybe they shouldn't be making them in the first place[DOUBLEPOST=1379622427,1379622355][/DOUBLEPOST]
