I strongly do not recommend using the "YouTube link" feature as YouTube may delete your videos without a valid reason, with no warning. If this happens, you will end up with dead links on your channel.

Here's an extract of YouTube's new terms of service which took effect today, which became a controversy among the YouTube community:

YouTube may terminate your access, or your Google account’s access to all or part of the Service if YouTube believes, in its sole discretion, that provision of the Service to you is no longer commercially viable.

Basically what this means is that they could terminate your channel, or delete your entire Google account if they think your videos do not generate enough revenue for YouTube directly or indirectly.

Sadly, we cannot rely on DTube's infrastructure for video hosting. The best way to upload is to run your own IPFS node and pin your videos there so that you have full control over video hosting and it will remain playable indefinitely as long as the video is pinned on at least one node.

Alternatively, you may consider using OneLoveIPFS fully managed IPFS hosting service, run by me and graylan@graylan, meant for those who do not have the technical ability to run and manage servers. Instead of using DTube's official uploader, I have built our own robust upload interface and APIs, which carries the following advantages:

  1. Videos will be playable indefinitely as long as your video is available anywhere in IPFS network
  2. Videos do circulate around the IPFS network easier as everything uploaded is added to IPFS directly. They get cached in multiple nodes and gateways
  3. Better quality thumbnails as they're not processed before adding to IPFS
  4. Access to thumbnail swap tool if you accidentally uploaded the wrong thumbnail no matter how the video was uploaded
  5. dtube@dtube beneficiary is 2% instead of 10% (only on uploader.oneloved.tube interface)
  6. Ability to set Steem post beneficiaries
  7. Ability to upload image for Steem article body directly
  8. No encoding queues
  9. Videos will be playable even if DTube's servers are down as it can be retrieved from any IPFS gateway
  10. Ability to use 6 additional tags (for corresponding Steem post only)

Hosting packages start at $3/month. Find out more here.

P/S: 3:06 you mentioned my name incorrectly 😅
