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?

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
