I already download any video I find valuable with yt-dlp. So many videos just randomly disappear or are difficult to find again because Google keeps mixing more and more irrelevant suggestions and shorts into search results.

Disk space is cheap, and it can be nice to scroll through the folder now and then and rediscover some great content.

There's probably other cases of people like me deleting our videos to avoid Google trying to monetize things I don't want ads on.
Very true. It really doesn't take much these days!
