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 isnβt 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

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.
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.
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.
If you have spotify you can just download it on there lop
Until you have no internetf or a while and spotify wont let you play it anymore lol.
old vsauce of course
I have a collection of extremely well edited AMVs. It is amazing the talent some people has, and I love to rewatch them often.
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.
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.
For example, Chords: https://youtu.be/YA-TXGYxOSw?si=opQzJFSv06BkKyE8
Frequencies: https://youtu.be/AVq2l5hAIE8?si=G7RGEJgARuykRiA9

Does anyone know what the new
?si=1gfyLNXsB0DtB0xC
Metadata actually represents or does?
I noticed it being added now, after I updated(?) my Revanced build.
But I know it's not necessary for the link to work.
It stands for Share ID and itβs a method of tracking who is sharing videos. Always strip those tracking segments from URLs when you share things
Yeah, I figured it was tracking.
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.

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.
Guided yoga / meditation. Long music mixes for when you're on the bus or plane.
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 youβve 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

All of The Grumps' Ten Minute Power Hour videos.
Never in my life have I been more invested in a show than this one
The space videos by MelodySheep have a permanent space in my cloud drive. They're amazing.
Because the thing it's parodying is actually kinda flawed. Now it turns it into a hilarious relatable meme (maybe not the "relatable" part).
