And through each gear I lift the clutch as I've seen from hundreds of videos. My question is, can you actually downshift through gears pressing in the clutch the whole time, never lifting it off (still shift through each individual gear and still blip the throttle each time you go through a gear, just not lifting the clutch until you reach the gear you want)?
Kind of a stupid question since I've never seen anyone do that... so what is the disadvantage or problems one would encounter if you never lift the clutch at the end of each blip?

There's no "wrong" way to do it. Ultimately, the goal is to be able to blip the throttle while maintaining steady brake pressure. Some people use their heel on the gas pedal, while others pivot the other way and use their heel on the brake pedal.
Yes, you can go through every gate without lifting on the clutch, and that's what I actually did for a long time, until I refined my downshifts enough that I can go through every gate without affecting car balance or time.
