The very abrupt and short time frame giving to move hundreds if not thousands of hours of content many creators have is ludacris with the current imposed limit.
Many creators will need at least 4 months to find the time and make arrangements to find ways to download, increase their own storage and or move the content elsewhere in general.
The other thing that hurts the ability to even deal with this is currently if you are over this limit you cannot make highlights to then download or export them meaning any recent broadcasts are going to be lost. This limit is far too low and should be at least 500 hrs worth or more, plenty of communities that have been around for even a year have well over 1000 hours of collaborated content that will be lost because there is no useful and reliable tools provided to creators on the platform to help deal with this dilemma but also in general which is where this really stings.
This is a crippling blow to anyone who makes content because the tools to make this process in general are not provided or even the bar minimum that is currently are not reliable in any fashion with the extremely short time frame and low limit that makes even managing content after this point very difficult to unless we have around the clock editors to assist with this.
This change should have been rolled out with significantly more notice and with tools provided on the platform to its creators which we do not have. Requiring a content creator, collaborators and editors to basically need over 5 TB of storage to cover a single year of content in a blink of of time is a huge misplay for those who have been around at least that amount of time and those who may not currently have the infrastructure, time, money and manpower to deal with this problem.
I personally organize speedrunning and community events that easily push past 100 hrs of content each event and with the already limiting 14-30 day deletion of broadcasts is already a struggle with no proper tools to deal with them after the fact.
Walk this back or at least delay this change with some revisions till the end of the year and provide the tools on the platform to make this flow of content easier to manage in general.
