Crunches are deemed safer than sit-ups. It's basically the first part of a sit-up, the abs contraction without the hip flexion.
Blue pants man is very knowledgeable, but like everyone else he's also grinding the youtube algorithm with pedantic clickbait. People would only hurt their back doing sit-ups if they are too weak from the hips, blue pants man offers an easier and safer alternative that would help someone progress to a normal sit-up form (although its not presented as such because a controversial title like "Sit-ups are bad! Do X instead" generates more views).
