Idea is a single word. You can neither say if it is overrated, nor analyze the market on the basis of a single word.

— But can I write bullshit articles with a flamebait title interviewing some guy no one takes seriously? Yes, you can.

There are pure ideas that just occur on an impulse. And there are ideas that satisfy a given demand. If you skip one of the steps when implementing an idea that satisfies the demand, you bail on the demand, not on some abstract over-hyped quality that serves no purpose.

In my opinion the really worthwhile ideas go alongside with the demand, and making sure that the demand is met is no overrated practice. Why? Because the demand is just a social definition of a problem that needs a solution.

People that have ideas unrelated to the demand usually write this kind of interviews.
