    This 100-hour limit will cause irreparable damage to speedrun communities if implemented. The vast majority of speedrunners rely on Twitch highlights to create concise speedrun VODs out of hours-long streams, which are then submitted to speedrun leaderboards for approval.

    Not only will every speedrunner need to back up and re-upload EVERY relevant VOD to YouTube or other websites, but those VODs will then need to be resubmitted to the leaderboards, inundating moderators with a flood of submissions that need to be rechecked.

    This is assuming speedrunners even have the time to back up all of their content within two months. Users who are no longer active, who no longer stream on Twitch, or who have passed away, will be unable to back up their content and will have large swaths of their videos deleted.

    Speedrun communities are already planning their exit strategy from Twitch altogether because of this, as well as instituting blanket Twitch VOD bans for submissions. If this goes forward, entire sections of speedrunning history will be lost forever.
