Personally I believe that the idea must be good in order to have the content get any chance of actually becoming successful/popular, but I welcome to be proven otherwise.
Personally I believe that in art and any creative project there are no bad ideas as long as you execute them satisfactorily. Even the best idea of all, if done badly, becomes a bad idea…
