What type of YouTube videos have high replay value and are worth downloading?
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.
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.
If you're into making music or music production, ear training videos. They're great for hearing different types of chords, specific frequencies, and it's the kind of thing that takes practice so they have very high replay value.
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.
Probably tracking, Spotify urls have included this for a while now.
The value seems to be different every time you share something so it must include a timestamp.
I always remove this part of urls before sharing them because they could potentially help identify you on any other website where you paste 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.
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

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