For me, it’s kind of a mix. Random memes or funny Reels usually just collect dust on my phone, but I do go back to travel ideas, recipes, or tutorial videos. Having them offline is super useful when I don’t have internet or when the post disappears. I’ve been using instagram video download to grab just the clips I know I’ll need later, and I keep them in folders so it’s easier to actually use them instead of forgetting.

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.
