Even if we come up with a very good idea, we would just be ruining it because they would then feel pressure to come up with something other than that. In fact, they might already have an idea, and then, by coincidence, people suggest to them that same idea, and then they would feel pressured to change it or use another idea.
You're saying they're hipsters?
No, I'm saying that if I was doing a work similar to them and I actually had a pretty good idea about something and someone came along and offered, by coincidence, the very same idea in a forum, it would suck, because:
a) if I kept the idea, it would no longer feel as fresh an unexpected as it might have been before people became aware of that idea;
b) if I changed the idea, I would be choosing to not using a good idea which might have been great.
And in either choice, I would feel pressured.
And if I hadn't had that idea and I thought it was a pretty good idea, I would also feel reservations about using it because I would prefer to use something more original instead of the idea of someone else, so, I would, once again, feel pressured to decide.

I would expect them to feel a little pressure about it, yeah. No one wants their work to feel anything less than original.
