What type of YouTube videos have high replay value and are worth downloading? (lemm.ee)

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?

Two lost media from my childhood.

the lost "Saban Moon" pilot. Something talked about on Geocities pages back in my preteen years which was almost guaranteed never to be recovered, until someone dropped it on YouTube last year.
Pokemon Live. I desperately wanted to go to this, it was even playing in the next city over, and my parents said no, we'd buy the VHS advertised on the Pokemon website whenever it came out... Guess what never came out? I spent years scouring old websites for script fragments, saving screenshots and camcorder bootlegs, audio recordings... I would wager that, until six years ago, I had the most complete version of Pokemon Live out of anybody on the internet. And then someone dropped the full version, one of those saved for posterity full stage recordings, onto YouTube.

Both of these are abysmal, but it's not really about the destination so much as it is about the proof of having taken the journey.
