The whole point of having alternative uploaders is to have redundancy so that if an upload server goes down for any reason, there are still other servers (owned by different people) to upload to. @onelovedtube offers a paid IPFS hosting service that enables users to pin their videos through a Discord bot (for videos uploaded to DTube's servers), or a direct upload through the uploader (uploader.oneloved.tube). Videos pinned to our servers are playable indefinitely (as long as the file is available on the IPFS network).

cluster.d.tube is DTube's endpoint for their official upload servers, which is the default if nothing is selected.
