Thanks for uploading — a comment left on new uploads to appreciate the content creator's effort.

うぽつ combines うp (up, from upload) + おつ (otsu, from otsukaresama, good work). It's the standard polite comment to leave when someone uploads a new video, especially on Niconico (ニコニコ動画). The phrase acknowledges the creator's effort in making and sharing content. Still common in video streaming and upload communities.
