I feel bad for the bald guy but I can't remember why, maybe because I imagined a huge drama for him and one of the girls, who seemed like his wife being sick of him in a couple of videos.
It's a good group to watch, the DM really puts effort in it.

It's the most cringy shit I've laid my eyes on for a long time. How anyone actually enjoys this is beyond me. Do you have zero standards? Do you have no sense of shame?

Drop the hyperbole. Most groups don't put in even half the effort in roleplaying their characters as these guys do. They lay it on thick sometimes, some of them especially egregiously, and their understanding of the rules is poor considering they've been playing for years, but the roleplaying meat - how the DM fleshes out the world and plays dialogue, how he involves each PC with his/her backstory, how the PCs interact with each other - is among the best I've seen.
There's definitely something to learn from them, even if they make many mistakes and are annoying sometimes.

AI > CR

Hoo boy, this is a tough one. They're both so bad in different ways.

AI = Way too overly timid players gingerly tiptoeing along a railroad -- not because the railroad is all that exists, but because they have no fucking balls to do anything meaningful without a direct prompt

CR = Way too overly dramatic players being decently strung along, haven't watched enough to know how much agency they have

Completely different kind of game. They joke around a lot and have contagious fun, but some of the characters are really... bland. They have little personality once you strip away the silly jokes.

NO. It is WAY too much enthusiasm, bordering on LARP-levels (which is maximum cringe). This would not TOO bad (in and of itself), we are on Veeky Forums after all, if they did not exude an air of thinking they are cool at the same time. It is just utter cringe.

Seems okay but I don't have time for this shit

I think we hate it because normies like it.
Personally I think it's okay. Mercer's much better than any DM I've ever had but his players kinda suck at actually playing the game. Like half of them are great RPers but the other half are just good actors that aren't good at making interesting characters. Their faults led me to lose interest but it's not a bad show.
