I spent yesterday reading through tweets from creators who are watching years of their history vanish. Not just content—but memories, milestones, and moments that helped build communities. What's particularly frustrating is that creators who are over the limit can't create new highlights from their streams until they delete enough content to get under the cap. I get it. Storage costs are real. Running a large-scale platform requires tough decisions. We'd hope to see a plan in place with features to help creators move their content to a new home. To every creator affected: I know this is causing real stress and anxiety. You shouldn't have to frantically download years of content with no warning. You shouldn't have to choose between preserving your history and being able to highlight new moments. While we can't completely fix this situation, we can at least ensure you don't miss capturing new memories while dealing with this crisis. So here's what we're doing to help: If you’re stuck above the storage limit, share a screenshot of your overage with us, and we’ll give you 2 months of automatic VOD analysis and storage in Rivr. No strings attached. At minimum, this ensures you can keep creating highlights from your new content while you figure out your archiving strategy. What is Rivr? Rivr helps creators instantly find the most engaging moments across all their streams. Instead of spending hours manually scrubbing through VODs, our platform analyzes your content and surfaces the highlights that will resonate most with your audience. Think of it as having a dedicated editor who watches every second of your streams and knows exactly which moments will make great clips. For existing users: We're expediting a feature that ensures your content remains accessible in Rivr even if Twitch removes it. We'll need time to figure out the long-term storage policy, but given today's news, we believe it's critical to make sure your content never just disappears. My DMs are open if you have questions, and we've created a guide on how to download your Twitch highlights: rivr.stream/blog/rivr-guide-… -@MarcFromRivr CXO, Co-founder
