There are ~90K Twitch highlights submitted to speedruncom that are scheduled to be deleted. I'm personally mirroring as many as I can in HD to a new YouTube channel (with help from @notquiteapex.net) and working with ArchiveTeam to get a 480p archive (~100 TiB) into the Internet Archive!

seriously looking into a mass archival of twitch highlights from srcom

Expect some more information on speedrun.club once I'm closer to having something to share 💖 If anyone has any lists of highlights (or even API endpoints to scrape) from other speedrunning websites like Mega Man Leaderboards feel free to DM me and I'll add them to the queue!

FYI: For each of the 90K broadcasts I also scraped the runner's whole channel and found a further ~1.5M highlights pending deletion but unfortunately even a 144p archive of this would be over a petabyte. It's not viable to save *everything* but we can at least do real submitted & verified runs
