a reputable source is one that provides the source of their information.

youtube content creators get their information from other Youtube content. It's like a human centipede of misinformation.

in rare occasions youtube can be reputable if it's content of the event as it happened, like when George Floyd was murdered and body cam footage was leaked online.

however, with better AI that can create archival footage like that, it's harder to trust just any video.

point is, sources matter when you want to prove your dissertation.
