It's ok for using indoors to film videos? Do the top YouTubers use tripods like this?

Its my 1st Tripod....hurt my bank balance lol

That looks the double of my first decent tripod, it was a Beike one, you wont be able to do pans/tilts properly with it but it will make a good stationery tripod and if you do photography it should also come in handy, I like the twist lock legs on these ones more than the clip ones that are on my current one. Be careful around sand, I got sand on the legs and in where the twist locks are and it was a nightmare to stop a gritty crunching sound when locking the legs from then on.

It is a nice tripod BUT it has a ball head, so it's primarily for photography not film. If you want a tripod for video use, then ideally you'd want a fluid head, which as the name implies, allows for smooth fluid motion.

It will work for stationary shots, but you won't be able to get smooth pan and tilt shots as you would with a video tripod, and it may not be as to easy to get it level.

It's served me well and it's relatively inexpensive. You can find some more expensive and nicer ones on Amazon or B&H.

Depends on the type of filming you want to do. If you want to do a standard YouTube video where the camera is still and pointing at something than it will do fine. If you want to move the camera while shooting (pans/tilts) then it's going to be a bit difficult (but still possible!).

I use the Amazon Basics 67 inch tripod. It's very good for the price so it's perfect for beginners. It might not be the best choice for shooting outside (but still a fairly decent one) because it's not as stable as some more expensive tripods and it's a bit heavy but it's very good for shooting inside.
