I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, so I might as well: unless they changed it after I left, JTV has been deleting videos older than a week for many years. I wrote the original (well, almost original) system, and IIRC, we took it down to a week of storage back in mid-2009 or so.
JTV caught quite a lot of static for "not giving more than a week's notice", but it's pretty hard to do that when you're going from one week of storage to no weeks of storage.
Also, since people are asking: back when I first worked on it (circa late 2008), we started by installing (again, IIRC) 40TB of RAID6 disk space, and that was enough to store about a month of video before we ran out. By the time I left, we had something like 4-5x that capacity, and we were down to a week of archive storage. So that should give you some perspective on the amount of data involved....and it's probably gone up substantially since then.

I have trouble understanding this point you make. What prevented them from announcing something along the line of "We keep videos for one week at the moment; in 3 months time, however, we will stop this and there will be no more storage." ?
- ohhoe 12y agoI'll be glad if they remove a bunch of the early stuff, to be honest. I was in the closed beta with iJustine and a few other people, and people were dicks to us whenever we got on camera.
