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?

Years ago there was this funny clip of Ben Affleck doing various different Boston accents on the Jimmy Kimmel show. Super funny and became one of those clips that I would seek out a few times a year to rewatch and have a laugh.

It got pulled for for copyright or something which was weird because its really like a 3 minute clip. In any event its gone, forever. Cant find it anywhere.

Tubearchivist allows us to grab things we plan on rewatching over and over.
