I have a question about tides. I found two youtube videos that seem to have contradicting explanations. Though both are highly recommended. Which one is correct?

As the title says. The two videos in questions are;

From Dr. Becky; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr89IgzsMVk

From PBS Space Time; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwChk4S99i4

What do each get right/wrong?

A look at how the gravitational force that the Moon exerts on the Earth causes our high and low tides and how the additional interaction of our sun creates the spring and neap tides. https://youtu.be/fHO9J2LlXYw
