It's A Digital Disease!

I'm working on archiving my media, first my various Box Sets, then my Games and Web Content. And that got me thinking...

What if I could scrape not just the videos, but the comment, descriptions, channel pages, thumbnails, and PfPs from my favorite channels and plug them into a program that Simulated the YouTube frontend or a more classic variant using all that data?

I could have a classic YT Browsing experience without anything close to an internet connection.

Is this feasible, and if so, does it exist?

I know YT-DLP can download comments and descriptions, though I'm not yet familiar with using it.
