The problem with using YT videos is that they are transitory. Also, you're then subjecting your reader to somebody else's advertisements for their gain.

Also YT follows the same rules as Wikipedia for being a source.

You don't cite it, you find what it's citing and cite that if you decide what those sources have to say are relevant to your intended argument.
