There's no contradictions in the logic when you view it that way.
I've finally found a person with posts longer then Arigatomina's.
while everyone else is making vids to anime you don't like, then maybe you should make a vid for yourself, or better yet, pay someone to make you one
I just like putting my own favourite characters/scenes together with my favourite music.
But that doesn't explain why it's HERE, in front of thousands of people, to be judged. Obviously if you're going to make an AMV and put it on a-m-v.org, subject to ratings and opinions, you must have some sort of desire to please a crowd. That contradicts the original motive, doesn't it?
Maybe the real question should be why people don't make amvs to anime they don't like.

Who cares about originality anymore?

While not CONFINED to "publicity = judgement", that doesn't make it a part of what happens to vids submitted to the org. Vids on the org ARE judged, even if people don't post opinions.
You may not care
Competition and the desire for quality in vids was what created the popularity of amvs in the first place!
Can you prove that?
Umm...I make videos...to whatever series and songs I feel like...it's not based on popularity or anything like that, just the idea for the particular song and anime that comes to my mind. Of course, I always make sure no one else has done it before I do.

It's a bit strange though, the logic some people have.
They say they just make AMVs for their own enjoyment, because they like combining their favorite music with their favorite anime.

It's good if you don't care what people think, but wouldn't it also be worthwhile TO care what people think? Wouldn't that help lead you, in one way or another, to make better vids?
Can you prove that?
