Twitch's changes to their VOD storage policies are only one week away. Keep your memories safe by either backing them up or exporting them to Youtube via my Vault: https://t.co/OxjZW71SRI

[Twitch Support @TwitchSupport]

We’re implementing a 100 hr storage limit for Highlights & Uploads starting 4/19. This won’t apply to Past Broadcasts (VODs) or clips.

Less than 0.5% of streamers exceed 100hrs & this content accounts for <0.1% of hours watched. Users will be notified.

My Twitch stream filter tool now also lets you filter by "Ambassador" status:

Give it up for 2026’s Twitch Ambassadors! Can you find your fav?

@SeryCodes The "use a different password" is so important, yet I see so many which try to sign up to my Vault and get an error because they try to use a password which was already found in some leaks (check via the https://t.co/GTOu9PDJUH API)

@That_MS_Gamer I've seen this one recommended a bunch https://t.co/vXazX4QFuh

Backup your StreamElements (https://t.co/4qUgYRJDBx) and then delete the account (https://t.co/fERdbKek0B).

It's unclear what new ownership, if any is actually secured, will do with the platform or the data stored in it.

@michal_jares @zachbussey I'm not gonna say anything without a lawyer

@diobtrien Should be all up and running again. For some reason the server decided to restart itself

I don't have any real hope that their detection will work properly.
For example, I try to track bot accounts and for over a year now most days nearly half of the new accounts (https://t.co/Jfrl4Syznl) have their language set to Russian with little to none being suspended

A note on our work to combat viewbotting, from CEO Dan Clancy:

There’s been a lot of discussion recently about viewbotting on Twitch, and I wanted to share an update on our enforcement efforts.

Viewbotting is bad for our business. We don't benefit from it, and we believe it harms the creator ecosystem overall. However, effectively combatting viewbotting is challenging. As we deploy updates to our real-time detection algorithms, viewbotting companies quickly respond with updates to avoid detection. Also, our detection systems must be precise to ensure that legitimate viewers are appropriately counted.

Today, we’re introducing a new enforcement type that we plan to roll out over the next few weeks. For channels identified as persistently viewbotting, we will apply a cap to the streamer’s CCV for a fixed period of time, on all of the Twitch surfaces. The cap will be based upon historical data regarding that creator’s non-viewbotted traffic. Repeated violations will result in longer penalties. Streamers will be notified when an enforcement is applied, along with the duration of the penalty, and can appeal through the appeals portal.

While streamers will be notified, we will not make a follow-on announcement when we begin issuing these enforcements, and will not publicly share details about when and where these enforcements are applied. Unfortunately, providing details simply makes it easier for companies to work around our interventions.

We believe this approach will help us make meaningful progress against viewbotting. We will continue refining our systems and expand when we apply these enforcements over time.

@AlphaDuplo I slipped, hit my keyboard and accidentally created a few thousand accounts

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@271kfantasy Out of the ~ 28 million accounts which have Twitch prime at this time only ~ 33,000 are Russian. So it's probably not that.

@botterbanner The amount of reports generally has no impact on someone getting suspended or not. Either Twitch finds something they suspend accounts for or they don't. Doesn't matter if one report or 100.

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@XayStationTV @asianjeff @TwitchSupport @SeryCodes No, nothing you can really do about viewbotting so best to just ignore it

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@DrYatty @Triggerfrei @comicschau Ist ein "indefinite" Ban also erst mal ohne zeitliche Begrenzung

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@streamrealtalk @StreamerBans Mauschine ist nur ein Affiliate und StreamerBans schaut vor allem auf Partner. bytobi war kein voller Ban sondern nur einer wo streamen nicht möglich war. Solche Bans trackt StreamerBans auch nicht

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@Ylliaster @MalyniaVtuber Looks like these follow bots are partly compromised accounts and old accounts which is most likely why sery_bot didn't automatically remove them.
You can manually remove them with my follower remover tool: https://t.co/oIBikrpyXr

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@AlphaDuplo There are already over 420 accounts with that badge

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@GoosePlays20 I have no idea why exactly Twitch requested it to be removed or shutdown. Founders is just an example of what doesn't exist in the official public APIs

[CommanderRoot @CommanderRoot]

@Symedia_ Got any example usernames where the data / is wrong?
