From what I’ve seen, it depends a lot on how people organize their files. If everything just piles up in one messy downloads folder, chances are those videos won’t get watched again. But when someone sorts them by topic or keeps a small curated collection, they tend to revisit them way more often because it feels intentional instead of random clutter.
