I'm going to be lazy and just stick some quotes I found from the YouTube comment section. Enjoy. Next writing tip will be about the lack of effort some idiots put in the stories.
"I think what makes a character a Mary Sue is the story bending around them. Being perfect and loved by everyone is just a symptom of the disease. If the story is stable and there are other characters to balance out the flawless one, it can work. It might not be as good, but it can work. But if the story is warped and twisted so that the character is always getting what they want, then they become a Mary Sue."
"The defining characteristic of a Mary Sue is how much the world distorts around them."
"Frankly, anyone can be a Mary Sue if the plot bends over backwards for them."
"It's a narrative problem. As in, the narrative bends over backwards to make sure the character is always in the right."
"A Mary Sue is a wish-fulfillment character who the world is bending over backwards to shill."
