This is an interesting way to watch YouTube, and I have some questions about your system around watching the videos.

  1. How do you plan out downloading and watching the videos? Do you download at the time of watching, or do you just download as many videos you like when you get the chance?
  2. What do you do with the videos after watching?

I download when I have free time to fill / kill. I watch one genre of videos and periodically check on a number of channels that have that content. I watch each video working down the list deleting them as I consume them. In the rare case that I want to save something, I toss it in an unmanaged directory of internet content.

My Plex library is where managed content lives. Stuff from the internet doesn't deserve that level of care (in my system of data management).
