> Why does this happen?
First, define your expectation. What, exactly, would you expect YouTube to respond to just one request at that URL?
I'm guessing you know better than to define it as "exactly the video data that was originally uploaded to YouTube".
But then, what data exactly do you expect to be served?
And, second: Do we expect that to be the same data served on multiple requests to the same URL? Why or why not?
