If I submit 10 ideas, where are the 100 new ideas going to come from?

Why would someone swap one good idea for ten bad idea?

What do you plan to do with "all" the ideas?

___

Would you post answer to your own questions for your own site? Those being:

What's the problem?

What's the solution?

Why would anyone pay for that?

How would you reach your audience?

Are there other solutions out there?

How is your solution any different?

Will you reject bad ideas?

"If I submit 10 ideas, where are the 100 new ideas going to come from?" Same place as the first 10, from other people's ideas. If you're an idea generating machine the DB will eventually run out of ideas to give you.

"Why would someone swap one good idea for ten bad idea?" This is answered in the FAQ. You get 4 from the top rated ones. Chances are if you haven't worked on your idea by now, you probably won't do it at all. Share your idea and you might get one or more that you will work on. Even if you don't get an idea you think it's "good" you might get inspiration from them or put a twist on these.

"What do you plan to do with "all" the ideas?" Same as everyone else who submits an idea: get inspiration.

"Would you post answer to your own questions for your own site?" I don't understand the purpose of your question.

The purpose of the question, "Would you post answers for your own site?" - being I don't understand and/or would be interested in the answers to the questions before for RealIdeas.site:

What's the problem?

What's the solution?

Why would anyone pay for that?

How would you reach your audience?

Are there other solutions out there?

How is your solution any different?

This is all covered in the FAQ. Problem: no vetting process on similar sites. Solution: have someone read the ideas. It's free, not meant to make money. I just posted it on HN. I don't see similar sites with a vetting process out there.
There are lots of sites that provide lists of vetted ideas, what am I missing?
I don't understand the negativity. This is a Show HN. And Show HNs don't have to be completely original things that have never before appeared on the Internet.
>> "Are there other solutions out there? How is your solution any different?

Negative? I am only reflecting the questions back at the post/site that they're asking themselves.

What are some of them?

"He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me."
