I remember when collections were pushed out by Twitch as a feature and were told to make the most of it. I was one of them, I have saved most of my past playthroughs in highlight format and then consolidated them into collections after collections for the past eight years. And now, after 6993 hours of content built up, I'm being told I have two months to move them over to any other platform?
I'm just a normal person, so I don't live with a basement full of servers ready to move that much content, and I don't intend to pay a house's worth of rent to store these. Twitch already added towards subscription costs, and increased ad-times over the board, all while taking 50% of all revenue. Yet, they're reducing features? What's the idea really, the Math doesn't quite Math.
First of all, the hundred hour mark is very laughable, it shows how out-of-touch Twitch is with their userbase. I stream 8~13 hours each time and I easily reach that limit within a week. Even at 1000 hours it wouldn't suffice. You would need to increase it marginally or you might as well not give any at all, as people would just move it over to other platforms instead of choosing what to save within a puny 100 hour limit.
Second, the deadline proposed is WAY too near, no one has time to be fully uploading every single day, and the most obvious idea is YouTube, but YouTube has a daily upload limit too so even if we did that utmost we could daily - we wouldn't make it by April 19th if we have more than a few years worth of content. Which is likely not a small number of people.
Third, current broadcasts that're close to being deleted will not make it in time to be moved over if we prioritized chronologically, those should be able to be saved until 19th April, at least, otherwise this is just barbaric and unreasonable.
Please consider rescinding this horrible idea all together, it's senseless. And if it truly doesn't affect that many people, then why even implement this? What good does it do other than upset the amount of people it has already upsetted? (A lot)
And back to my initial point of this post: Why am I being punished for using a feature you guys decided to push out eight years ago?
This is immensely stressful, I speak as someone who's been on Twitch for the past eight years. I have 6993 hours of content and I'm now being told I have to move them to YouTube or another platform within 2 months. Most users on YouTube have a 10 day video upload limit. Ten a day. I have 1218 videos, at the LEAST. The Math does not Math, even if I did ten a day diligently I would lose half my videos.
You're basically evicting people from houses in 60 days, it's the exact same thing you're pulling. This is putting me under immense stress knowing memories of memories are going to be gone forever. At least, AT LEAST give us half a year or more to go about doing this without this crazy stress. We already have lives to live, we can't only be moving content every single day.
