#12I'm reminded of the Halfbakery [0] "The Halfbakery is a communal database of original, fictitious inventions, edited by its users. It was created by people who like to speculate, both as a form of satire and as a form of creative expression." [1] [0] https://www.halfbakery.com/ [1] https://www.halfbakery.com/editorial/about.html
Thanks for sharing it. It is similar to what I was describing although on a much broader scale. I'll look into it in more details later because it has some funny/interesting suggestions.

#15"Ideas are worthless, execution is everything" means that with high probability everyone who can execute already knows your ideas. If your idea isn't good enough for you to work on it, why would it inspire anyone else?
I don't think there's a direct correlation between a good idea and or interest in pursuing it. The idea may simply not cross the threshold of what you want to send time on.
This also may be one of those things that's not a billion dollar idea, or a million dollar idea, but just a 'couple of thousand dollars' idea. Some people aren't willing to spend time on things that don't cross that money threshold, but others most be willing to do it.

That's a good point. On the other hand one may have ideas that are not pursued because of: lack of domain expertise, lack of capital, family commitments, etc.

#20> I'm in the camp of ”Ideas are worthless”
Then why ask people here for ideas for a platform?
You are here because you couldn’t think of all possibilities yourself.
Ideas are the first step, without which everything that comes after, wouldn’t.
