Seeing how there are official and unofficial options to download videos from YouTube, I wondered why downloading of videos was endorsed in the first place, I have downloaded videos in the past, but it was due to some project work. I haven’t really downloaded a video for entertainment, education or any personal reason at all. I feel like the type of stuff I watch on YouTube are just for one time consumption and are not meant to be replayed. Is there some sort of content, like a category of videos or videos from a specific creator that I can download and watch in my device offline any number of times and still not get bored with it?

    Music videos have high replayability. You may be the kind of person that downloads a news summary once a day or once a week and watches it offline. A sports game might be worthwhile.

      Free tip: The stuff after ?si in the link you provided is just a shareID. It isn’t part of the link to the actual video, and serves no purposes but tracking.

      Just the URL to the video looks like this: https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE

    The Sam o Nella Academy Videos. Short little tales of things that happened. Might be your humor. Might not be.
    All the Music you listen to right now. Not much to rewatch, but having music downloaded beats spotify when you dont have an internet connection.

    I have a collection of extremely well edited AMVs. It is amazing the talent some people has, and I love to rewatch them often.

    Instructional videos for things you only do occasionally. You can re-watch the video right before you perform whatever task you’re trying to do.

    All of The Grumps’ Ten Minute Power Hour videos.

    Never in my life have I been more invested in a show than this one

    Insider Business has tons of interesting videos (and, they usually do a compilation at the end of the year, so there are some good videos over an hour or two long). Check out these series particularly:

    Best in Town

    Big Business

    Around the World

    Regional Eats

    So Expensive

    Still Standing

    Java Discover has a lot of great documentaries, as does PBS Frontline.

      He even makes his own music to use in his videos. The level of commitment is insane and I love that.

      Also, I’m in love with how Dutch people speak English.

    This one

    Because the thing it’s parodying is actually kinda flawed. Now it turns it into a hilarious relatable meme (maybe not the “relatable” part).
