Quick brief

Use Tubeup when the task is preservation, not ordinary watching or generic downloading. It is specifically for taking a source video or playlist URL, capturing the media and metadata, and pushing that archival package into the Internet Archive, which keeps the skill boundary tighter than a plain downloader or media platform listing.
