Do I think investors or users will get attracted to it when they knew it's being used again and again?
it depends, does the template used wisely, does it modified well, and does it actually deliver the proper message to the users, if yes, then, does not matter if a video has highly over-used template it will still be attractive, it is not only applied to video, but also other kind of promotion, thats why most of promotion is following trend, which will be very unoriginal, just like how most pop music is very unoriginal but its popular, most of them are using music 'template'
on the other hand, any people, will also cringe af when they saw a promotion that looks original, but it's not even good looking, or can't deliver the promotion message well.
no I don't mind at all, I am enjoying the discussion,
At least they tried to make their
own content, that's what should be included in the criteria on every contest. I think there's
no one here will make bad looking promotion video 'cause everyone will do their best, and everyone here is aiming for high quality. I doubt there's someone who'll make an original-made video that lacks content-wise and bad looking 'cause the effort you exerted in creating an original video will be useless if there's no content and bad-looking. So it means having an original video is you're trying to make the best, which is very difficult to gain and produce a unique and wonderful idea.
Therefore, if someone's
trying to achieve original video, which means he/she's
aiming to have original content which also means it's automatically should be good looking. I know that you're trying to protect that idea 'cause you're also included on those people who used templates, I understand and appreciate that but the fact that modifying existing videos and adding ingredients on it will not be better than making original videos. Everything on the internet now is downloadable like plugins, effects, presets, vectors and other stuff on editing. We can produce quality videos using those I've mentioned. But it's better if you've produced something original that's made of scratch, that's the fact and should be the mindset of everyone when trying to join in the contest. I'm not saying that crafting is a bad idea, I'm just saying that starting from a scratch is better.

That one is where you are wrong, nope, there are tons of bad original submission, not only in this contest but almost in every contest. Some people will just submit their original bad work, and then justify it with this statement,
At least they tried to make their own content
Therefore, if someone's trying to achieve original video, which means he/she's aiming to have original content which also means it's automatically should be good looking.
That one is also very wrong, there is no such thing like
'automatically good looking' not with original content, neither with 'template'. There are so many other thing that will lead content (in any form) to be good looking.
that's what should be included in the criteria on every contest.
Your previous post also leads the organizer to only choose the winner with the original content. You can't push people to agree with your idea, that is what I protect. I don't protect my idea of using 'template' is ok, I don't need my idea to be protected. I just want people to understand that not everyone will be agreed with them. When the organizer decided the rule, I believe they have seriously considered those rules that fit their needs. Specifically in this forum, as long as those rules are not against this forum rules, that's ok.
When a newbie says the above quotation no one will consider that, but if a higher rank member state that, the organizer will be pushed to consider that idea. And eventually, he might be pushed to choose the 'original' content as the winner, does not matter how good it is compared to the other 'unoriginal' ones. Now, that's not only unfair for the one who make the better video even though it is using templates, but it also failure for the contest organizer because they don't get what's best for them.

That last one, you again assume that original content automatically leads to good content, which is not.
Nevertheless, I am very much respecting your preference for non-template content. But you can't push that idea of original content is always better than 'template' content to people
