And what is the immense value in that? Barely anyone will watch any of those videos. For most of those multiple-hour-long videos you can probably count the number of views after the initial week or so (when people watch who didn't see it live) in the single digits per month if not per year or overall.
Why are they all worth keeping? Wouldn't it be enough to keep something like the top 20 or top 100 in each category for every game? Should be easy to archive those with a month of time for each particular game's community.

There is also cargo fix --edition which can update your code in a very conservative way automatically. The result might not be as idiomatic but errs on the side of having semantics that do not change.
Even if you are in favor of preserving "everything", streamers produce a lot of crap that really is completely useless like a 30 minute start of the archived video that is just an image with a timer ticking down or just a static image.
That is mainly an issue caused by the fact that the whole chat synchronization thing never got developed into an open format since everyone who cared about it was just fine with companies using their own proprietary format for it.
I would venture a guess and say that most animals (at least land animals that aren't subject to motions of the surrounding medium like fish are) would probably communicate face to face, not sure what is considered so unusual about that.
