Are there really 5+ day nonstop playthroughs? Are there just hours of no content while the streamer eats/sleeps? Why wouldn't that be split into multiple parts

Are there really 5+ day nonstop playthroughs? Are there just hours of no content while the streamer eats/sleeps? Why wouldn't that be split into multiple parts by the streamer, as a natural consequence of how it was recorded?
- michaelt 2y agoAccording to https://link.twitch.tv/storage https://link.twitch.tv/storage Twitch's limit is 100 hours stored total, not just per-video So you'd hit the limit after 600 ten-minute videos, or 100 hour-long videos. The limit also seems to apply to "Highlights" and "Uploads" but not to "Past Broadcasts", "VODs" or "Clips" for added confusion.
- rincebrain 2y agoAs pointed out elsewhere, past broadcasts/VODs had an autodelete horizon added years ago, so after a certain point, you'd have to reupload your content if you wanted it archived in perpetuity. One might imagine this is just the logical followup of them adding that horizon initially, basically saying "the 1 in 200 of you who circumvented our policy, no, for real, stop that."
- SkiFire13 2y agoThere have been streamers doing subathons of 30+ days. They usually eat while doing something else/watching something they will comment later, while they sleep there is either no content or some friends/moderators talk to the viewers.
