#2I am not even sure if there are some decent twitch alternatives except maybe youtube?
Kick is mostly used by people doing ahem not so illegal stuff.
What else am I missing someone.
I really believe that youtube is a better alternative to twitch in the long run. But that might change as well who knows.

#3> An “incalculable” loss
Simply not true. Only because it is possible to record every moment in someone's personal gaming time, does not make it historically relevant.
100 hours is a lot of time if you just keep the relevant parts of your videos. And you can always just host your additional stuff on YouTube or Vimeo, if you want.

#4I hope this won't make YouTube pull the same stunt in the near future, at least for the smaller channels.

#5Incalculable? If you care so much I can calculate how much Amazon Glacier will cost you to archive all of this "priceless" footage. Are we seriously expecting a streaming platform to be the Library of Congress now? If so, let the government pay to keep everything forever

#6Just ask one of the generative models to recreate this "priceless" footage, at least one of them will have slurped up most of it by now.

#7I assume Twitch doesn't make much from people watching old streams. Do they put adverts on them?
I watch a lot of gaming playthroughs on YouTube, frequently years after they happened. I guess Twitch isn't in that market.

#8So they're keeping the erotic stream content? I can get behind this decision :^)
