Using CrashCourse as a source in EPQ

I was just wondering if using CrashCourse Philosophy (a youtube channel) as a source in my EPQ Project (in philosophy) would be valid and academic enough?
It obviously won't be my only source, I'll be using others but I want to make some points using it still.

yes, I used a YouTube video as a source as well and nothing was said, just make sure you reference it. Always ask your teacher for feedback

ah okay, it's just im kinda scared it doesn't look that academic (even though the source had credibility) and my friend told me i'd look pretty cheap 😅 so I'm kinda worrying it would effect anything if i used it?
I'm aware using videos is fine, but these kind of filtered down videos of such topic feels wrong ahah

its fine lol, either way its not as if you're just using YouTube videos and those are ur only sources. One YouTube video won't affect anything, it still links to ur topic.
