user48011: Can we use YouTube videos as references, especially Anituber videos in the answers? YouTubers can sometimes be biased or consider fandom, and I personally used YouTube videos in my answers (e.g. here), so it is fair that I ask this and have a generalized opinion.

user1587: I don't see a problem so long as the YouTube video doesn't become the answer in itself, just as long as it's relevant and you try to summarize the relevant part(s) in your answer in the event the video is taken down.

Provide context for links
Links to external resources are encouraged, but please add context around the link so your fellow users will have some idea what it is and why it’s there. Always quote the most relevant part of an important link, in case the external resource is unreachable or goes permanently offline. Links to other websites should always be helpful, but avoid making it necessary to click on them as much as possible.

But as you said, "YouTubers can sometimes be biased", so it's always a good idea to look into the content creator and what their credentials are, e.g. a content creator who is actually a copyright attorney would be more of an authority on copyright law than someone who creates "reaction" streams of full anime episodes.
