Can YouTube videos considered art?

All it means to be a youtube video is that it's a video that is on youtube. What is in the video will determine what it is art or not, intentionally or not. Just because something is on youtube doesn't change anything. Video can be on any other platform and the nature of the video will not change. It's still the same video. Movies are considered as art, and there are movies in youtube. Movies are videos. Just because those movies are in youtube, doesn't mean they are no longer art :D

Animation is a way to make an illusion of movement by animating using various techniques such as Frame-by-frame, interpolation, or stop-motion. Filming a video with a camera, recording game footage, streaming, and such is not inherently considered as animation, but can contain animated elements in them. That said, if something isn't an animation, that doesn't mean they are no longer art. Animation can also be used in very non-artful intents such as demonstrating how a product works, demonstrating how to build something, you know, the informational animations, which can still be seen as art depending on the intent and if someone finds something artistic in it.

Thank goodness there's a person in this forum. So do editing considered art? Like example internet anarchist, sunnyv2, wavix, mrbeast, and other content creators. It's so common.
Also this question is unrelated to the topic but can YouTube poops be uploaded to newgrounds? Some have some animation features so can they be on newgrounds?

I would consider editing as art if it sincerely was made to be artistic. Whatever techniques are used in editing doesn't go too far from interpolation animation, and doing post-processing it often done for the sake of mood, which is an artistic intent etc. I would put the channels you listed in edutainment category with varying level of artistic intent, some more than others. Like at least to me, there is very little artistic value in just speaking and showing videos of other people's content, screenshots, and text, even if they are animated in some ways like making them shake or just making them move in front of you and then move out. They make the video seem more professional for sure, but I wouldn't inherently say they'd be art, and only has elements of art and animations. Like wavix from few videos I've watched is just gameplay recording on the background. I wouldn't call that as "animation", just a recording of something that may have animated stuff in it. Internet anarchist and sunnyv2 have more professional editing in them, and while that is a lot of animation, said animation is not the point. It's just to make the information they provide more eyecatching, may that eyecatchiness be considered as artistic or "shaking keys". "art" is more depended on the viewer than the intent for the most cases. Some can see actual art and find nothing artistic in em or vice versa, even if the intent of an art piece is to be art, which should make it art, but viewers subjectively decides that for themselves. Even MrBeast can be art, but idk, people do deem to see "art" as proper food, and how it was made gives the food its worth, where flavor is not the only substance, but actual nutrient, whereas mrBeast is more like fast food, where it's delicious but also made to be as addicting as possible. But yea, even if it's "common" doesn't inherently mean much. It just means it's common. Art has a lot of philosophical depth with a lot of opinions about it conceptually, which is easy to make excuses about and be a smartass. Like someone's video was removed from an art show: "well I think this video of me eating a big mac is art, so it shouldn't be removed." yea no :D.

If your questions are so you can understand what you can upload in this site (if not then feel free to ignore this part :D), then I would recommend to just look what people post here, because by the fact that moderators remove people's videos here, you quickly will notice what is allowed in here, and based on ratings you will notice what is valued here.

Can youtube poops be uploaded here is kinda a good question considering the history of this website :D
I guess it depends on how much said YouTube poop is transformed into the sort of animation you see here these days. If the poop mostly consists of original video sources which are mostly just cut clips and are timed differently, then no, don't put that here. But if it consists of you animating those characters from cut images where you tween them doing things, or actually frame-by-frame them do something unique, then maybe. We have had animations in this site for years where it's just PNGs moving around. Like this is very new https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/1009535 and it gives me 2000s newgrounds nostalgia. Basically, just replace the monkey.png with CDi-King.png and the monkey sound be the king's "OAH" sound :D. I wouldn't recommend posting YTPs here personally tho.

"Tools such as GMod or 3D Movie Maker along with third party assets have generally been allowed, however one of our goals is to avoid shovelware, so low-effort entries made with third party assets may be removed" and "Do not submit copyrighted video clips or photographs you did not create.

Unrelated question but is it allowed to make ytp's of people's animations on newgrounds?

It is always good to ask permission from the artists whose animation you want to use. I'm not gonna speak for them.

If I could edit. Can I make a ytp of your animations
