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.
The better half downloads audiobooks from YouTube when on wifi, for offline listening.
I like downloading slow TV, so I don’t have to worry about streaming it, of I want to sleep to it or something.

I have a collection of extremely well edited AMVs. It is amazing the talent some people has, and I love to rewatch them often.
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.
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.
Posy videos have absolutely amazing production value and provide incredible depth on niche topics. Guy is a great narrator too. https://youtube.com/@PosyMusic?si=Mj-BUgQXBkqeUFpB
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.

Not sure if you’ve ever heard of funhaus but I tend to go back and rewatch their earlier videos all the time. There was a YouTube user, Armitage, who tried to archive all their videos, but their page has since been deleted, and I can only surmise he was banned.
Here is an example of funhaus playing hitman

Because the thing it’s parodying is actually kinda flawed. Now it turns it into a hilarious relatable meme (maybe not the “relatable” part).
The space videos by MelodySheep have a permanent space in my cloud drive. They’re amazing.
