"If you cite a source, you don't cite Wikipedia or YouTube. You cite the actual source. You look at the citation for the claim (the footnote) in Wikipedia and go there to verify it and cite it."
This was my intended argument. Though many people feel free to cite the platforms directly instead of supposed sources of the contributed material. in cases like Wikipedia, many content is pending citation- and remains to be proven accurate. I'm not saying Wikipedia is always wrong, but cannot be consistently relied upon to be 100% accurate enough to cite the platform instead of the sources or lack thereof.

To be clear, if you sourced a scientific journal in your research- it is very unlikely it will base its scientific findings on a YouTube video or Wikipedia page

If you're simply reviewing for personal use, by all means- go ahead.

I'm not discounting the medium. I'm discounting the source.

Wikipedia/YouTube are not credible sources.

My bash.rc file is full of aliases that basically paraphrase common commands into either words or abbreviations, hence "hush, saug, cd...., lsa, clr and cls"
Clr= clear
Cls=clear && ls

"Tabby Slime Rancher inspired cat blob 5" minky plush
$64.99
Low in stock
Don't miss out. There's only 4 available and 1 other person has this in their cart right now."

Well considering:
1) it's etsy so handmade stuff is naturally going to be in small stock if I understood correctly
2) considering the detail, it takes a while to make

It looks cute, but out of my budget.
