Nikki here. We have some bad news... Purrhaps you've heard, but Twitch has suddenly rolled out a policy where they demand all Twitch streamers keep less than 100 hours of Highlights stored. This is quite an upset for Charem's Twitch account, as she has spent YEARS trimming each and every stream VOD into a highlight, before then also uploading 99% of them here to YouTube.
As such, we aren't losing MUCH, but, we must now manually and painstakingly delete these years of history from Twitch. Until we drop the bar below 100 hrs, the Highlight function actually ceases to work, meaning we cannot cut new Highlights to upload content to YouTube until we drop that bar. You can see here just how many hours of content we have to delete to get there. (This is across 3065 highlights.)
There was practically no warning about this system being rolled out, aside from a tweet merely hours before it was enacted. Twitch is destroying history, and they don't care.
Whether you use Twitch or YouTube, please be aware of these changes. We are at least lucky to have had almost everything on YouTube already; there are many streamers who do not, and who are now uploading hundreds of hours of VODs to YouTube to save them. I suspect both of these platforms may suffer in the next few days or weeks due to this outflux/influx, so it's good to be aware. (I have already broken the video page on Twitch; it error's when I do certain things, and I have to do a weird workaround to be able to continue deleting highlights.)
