Can I be sued for defemation on youtube?
Long story short there's alot of drama going on on yt about a particular group of people.yesterday they threatened to sue anyone that uses their name and talks ish..basically the tea channels. I'm not a tea channel but everyone and then I post a video just stating my opinion and theory's to what's going on. I do not use video clips or theirs just their photo in the thumbnail,and I also state throughout the video it's just opinion and my own theories in my head. Can I be sued? If so what would I need to change in order to not be at risk?
P.s. I'm not a huge page but the people know of me and a few more pages but those pages use videos,post personal info about the people,have researched backgrounds and bring up their dirt.i don't do any of that.
Thank you in advance

Anybody can be sued at any time for defamation, even if they say nothing at all. That's how lawsuits work. The plaintiff still has to prove that defamation has occurred, and that they have been somehow damaged by it.
The easiest way to avoid a successful defamation suit is to not assert that the claims are in fact true. For example:
* According to Party B, Party A did X
* Party A is alleged to have done X
* If Party A actually did X, I think Y should be done
Subjective opinions, like "This game is a waste of money", are not defamation.
