This is so stupid I have my entire subathon highlighted and archived on twitch for my community to look back on as well as almost 10 YEARS of highlights. Now because of this I cant make any more highlights or vods for my playthroughs
FUCK YOU TWITCH
This is not good for speedrun history where records, discoveries, and personal bests exist solely as a Twitch highlight. If you're a speedrunner or know someone who was, please archive your history to Youtube.
I fucking hate this. I have HUNDREDS+ of 8+ hour VOD highlights because this has never been an issue with the 7+ years I've been streaming on the platform.. now to suddenly throw this at us with ONLY 60 days to sort it out???
These are memories I thought were stored securely, and now I have to figure out how the fuck I'm gonna deal with this..
At least give us till the end of the year @Twitch@TwitchSupport
yippee this is fucking me over specifically who has thousands of hours of vod storage on twitch via highlights since ive never ran a youtube! cool! guess ill go fuck myself and my HDDs!
Can’t help but feel the speedrun community targeted on this.
What a fucking horrible decision. They are just gonna straight up wipe out so much world record history.
If storing highlights is such an issue they should get fucking AV1 support already
Good morning. You are in the significant minority (the significant minority that produce all of our revenue but shh) and as such we’ll be wiping out your entire 12 year, meticulously cataloged, regularly viewed history in 2 months.
Thanks for fucking nothing.
Your pals,
Twitch
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.

Twitch wants to delete every GDQ, twitch plays pokemon, every tournament or significant event series,most speedruns, most longplayers, most RPG recorded runs, and all of the history of what happened on twitch, from twitch.
If that sounds stupid it's because it is. let em hear it
Fuck you @Twitch@TwitchSupport
I have 17 YEARS worth of Highlights/VODs dating back to 2008 on my JustinTV streams and now I have to cherry pick through all of it to save only 100 hours of content? That will continue to be deleted as I continue to stream and save newer VODs? I’ve also discovered tons of channels by searching old highlights especially on more obscure games that aren’t streamed often. That’s fine, continue to invest into your brain rot Clips feature thinking you can actually compete with YouTube shorts or TikTok. This is your WORST UPDATE EVER!
@chunchasku I have 7 years of my life on this cursed ass website and I'm taking every second of it to YouTube and not putting a single second more on it. I won't give business to a website that doesn't respect all the time I've put into it. Fuck em.
@hsblueAU I'm in your situation. This whole thing sucks. Twitch has done awful shit every year but never reached the point it would affect me personally.

@TwitchSupport You owe me and hundreds of thousands of streamers the right to keep our history. If not, you'll be making everyone to just leave and tell you to each shit. Twitch is on a big downfall.
@TwitchSupport This SEVEN YEARS OF STREAM I'VE ARCHIVED MYSELF AS HIGHLIGHTS. THAT'S SEVEN YEARS OF MY LIFE. Backpedal on this. I'm not begging you, I'm demanding it. Or you won't get any more business from me. As small as a creator I may be, I still made you money through subs and ads.
