But not no-connectivity access. Not everyone has connectivity all the time.
Also people with bad connectivity who don't want to watch a spinning buffering circle every minute.

- gamblor956 6y agoBut not no-connectivity access. No, that is exactly what I mean by "connectivity shifted": you have access at one point in time to download the content for consumption later, such as when you don't have connectivity at all. Movies, TV shows, even music are all now available for "connectivity shifted" access. It simply costs money to do so. If you have "no connectivity" then youtube-dl and similar tools are useless to you, because then you have no ability to use them. In such case, you should use purely offline means of accessing content such as Bluray, CDs, etc.

- brokenmachine 6y agoAs far as I'm aware, Youtube doesn't have "connectivity-shifted" access.
