Is this hurting my channel?

I totally understand what you're looking for now. The process I suggested was two-fold. A solution to properly archiving videos from your stream in a cohesive manner, and also how to expand your viewership with this content. Twitch, by nature, does not have a particularly good recommendation algorithm to suggest your saved videos thus leaving videos to collect dust until you game a higher following. Youtube has a far superior algorithm for this if you play the SEO metadata game correctly. Allowing newer folks to see your videos in this manner gives them a good route towards your twitch channel for when you're live. Hope this is a little more clear!
