I dunno about that. It’s always easier to iterate on or ‘improve’ existing work. Creating it from scratch and having it be good is the hardest part. I think most creative people would be unhappy about that arrangement.
Not to mention that if you ask 3 people how to improve something you’ll get 4 different answers. And I really don’t have the time to watch 32 different versions of Aliens to figure out which one I like best.
It would be a bit of a crapshoot, but perhaps the intrinsic barrier to entry of doing massive amounts of unpaid video editing would filter out a lot of the less well intentioned

And those 3 fan editors come up with 3 wildly different end results off the same video.
It is absolutely nuts, and they are fantastic.

Star Wars: The Coaxium Heist (Solo) is fantastic. Terminator Enhanced Edition cleans up the VFX impressively.
Whether you get one bit of pure gold in 10000 or not, that one bit of gold is worth it.
