Twitch is imposing a storage restriction on certain types of content. The Amazon-owned streaming platform, which is largely dedicated to video games but also sometimes eating food, announced on its support website that anything under the "Highlights" and "Uploads" banner now counts towards a 100-hour storage limit,

Twitch is putting a cap on how much storage a streamer can take up for their uploads and highlight videos. The streaming service has announced that starting on April 19, all uploads and highlights will count towards a new 100-hour storage limit for each streamer,

This limit does not apply to Past Broadcasts or Clips and is expected to impact less than 0.5 percent of active streamers.

Twitch is limiting streamers to 100 hours of highlights and uploads, and will delete content if a channel exceeds the limit.

And while Twitch says that only 0.5 percent of users will be affected by these new limits, gamers are warning that the move threatens to eradicate large swaths of recent gaming history from the Internet.
