Maybe I‘m completely stuck but can somebody please explain the usecase of self hosting TubeArchivist?
https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist
Why would I rather download the content and watch it locally instead of watching it directly on YT?
Imagine your favorite youtuber decide to just delete their channel… how would you re-watch their content or watch the content you never watched originally…
Essentially it’s the same use case as DVD’s and Blurays… they exist so you can watch the content when you want to regardless of whether they are still available on the original platform.
came here to say basically the same thing: preservation
Good point. Thanks.
