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?

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.
