The next generation will want to download the video and store it, just in case it gets pulled because of content owner rights.



The current generation already does.


I still have lots of pre-Youtube (and even ripped Youtube) videos hanging around my backups, and I still want to keep them.


I already do this with everything online that matters to me. `wget -r`, HTTrack, and youtube-dl are great tools.


I get your point, but I wonder how much YouTube content gets watched by the same person multiple times.

Like how long does a single person care about a video? Vlogs are pretty "read once"
