How do you come up with your video ideas?

I like to go on a nice long hike or a walk and just relax and let the ideas flow to me I like to think about past stories of my life and use that to figure out how I can put it in a video in order to help someone else or help them laugh or help just get them through the day with a little advice to help them feel like they are not alone!
 
I guess it depends on what your channel is all about. I used to have a music channel, so it was easy to just upload the latest song. But now that I'm thinking about making more interesting content it has changed. I've tried to think about stuff that might do well, or get me more views or subscribers, but it really comes down to doing stuff that you are passionate about. It's hard to make content when you don't care. You have to want to do it, because, if we're being honest, there is a good chance most of us are not going to live up to the expectations we have for our channels. I have abandoned a few already because it wasn't working. My channel now is a labor of love with my best friend, who happens to be my twin brother. We come up with the ideas and ask for input from our viewers.
 
Usually I get my ideas from things that relate to me or something that happened in real life. I may be watching a movie and it might spark an idea and I sit down and think about what I can add or something that i saw in real life. Just sit down and plan
 
I do some brainstorming when:
- I commute to work or school on public transportation.
- I go for a run or workout.
- Reading the local paper entertainment section.
- Finding hilarious memes.
- Taking a shower (The best ideas came from here lol)
 
For me, it comes just from stuff I see on my online experience. I then turn it into a parody, or joke about it an animation in garrys mod skit. Like for example Pranks, pranking's reputation is ruined due to the pranks being to extreme. So I made that into an animation where this one guy does racist pranks, and pranks that end peoples lives.
 
I make music and this is usually how I come up with stuff:

A. I just open up Cubase and start playing around with instruments and sounds until I find something I like.
B. Something just pop up in my head. Like a simple melody, an ostinato/riff (whatever you wanna call it) or even a chord progression.
C. I get inspired by something. Like another song for example. Or maybe the weather. :)
D. I feel a certain way (happy, sad whatever), and I want to express it using (instrumental) music. In this case I'm inspired because of my emotions or feelings or thoughts.
