I'd really love to make a good channel but I have no idea what I should have it about! Maybe some DIYs but I rarely have original ideas so that's maybe not the best. I just want to make good and entertaining videos so what do you guys think?

this is a hard question to answer. Its your youtube channel, the more you post the more its gonna be your life. You have to post on what you love.This has to be personal to you. If you love to sing why not covers of top hits of whatever. You may also critque some viedos or something. This part has to come from you.
ps: leave your youtube channel name below ill go watch your post:)
good luck

Original ideas for a medium that is flooded with innovative ideas are a very hard to come by. If I think of one I'm more likely to use it myself than share it with someone so your best bet is to play to your own strengths. If you have a hobby post videos about that, if you play sport post videos about that, get a camera and make some original content and post that. If you have opinions, make a video and post it..it's all up to you. If you can't be creative then you're not going to be good at maintaining a youtube channel, it's just going to be an endless list of reposted videos and no one is going to want to watch that.
When it comes to DIY videos or any videos you make for youtube, you want to make sure you have very well made videos. Don't hold the camera with your hand, use a tripod mount and borrow a friend to help make the video if you can. Make sure you have a dedicated work space, like a garage or an office for making the videos and make sure it's clean and organized etc. You should also look into video editing software, including multi-cam setups for different angles, so you don't need to pick up the camera all the time. I also suggest building a dedicated workstation PC for making your videos, look up Linus Sebastian on youtube, his channel is a goldmine for custom PCs. He also has a detailed guide on building PCs for video editing.
You're DIY project doesn't have to be totally original, it just needs to be high quality and you should offer your viewers advice for making something better or making something the right way and you must be able to explain every step of the project. It can be what ever project you want it to be, from simple arts and crafts or more advanced projects.
I hope my advice helps.
