I have a batch file I wrote and use Task Scheduler in Windows to run it every night. I scan all of my favorite youtube channels for content and download any new videos. I also download the subtitle files, which I combine into a master text file for each channel, so that if I want to find a particular video later from something that was said in a video, I can search the master file and find the video where they said it. Took me a couple of hours to set it up and get everything working, but I love it.

I also just grab a whole channel if I come across something new using yt-dlp, because everything that is there is ephemeral and will disappear at any time.
