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?

    Niche reason: I’m in China and YouTube is blocked. My server has VPN access, but my Kodi system on my TVs doesn’t.

    That said, I hadn’t heard of this project, but I’ll probably install it now instead of manually using yt-dlp.
