Say you want to archive that channel.

That channel has a

Semi Auto pistol video play list

&

Beretta firearm video play list

Those two play lists would have some of the same videos located in both play lists.

Rather than to duplicate say a 2gb file for 2 or more play lists, youtube-DL could download one file in the main folder, then create a shortcut in each of the playlists that the video is found to be in.
