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?
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
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/d-7o9xYp7eE
