For those with a stronger stomach than mine: how does this video compare to the early-release-playtest one where Mearls was playing a dwarf rapper character?

I dunno, I quite enjoyed this session. Sure, it had a few cringy moments, but that's ok. haha

I cringe at most any RP recording I hear. Especially if I’m involved. Not only do I have to hear my voice sound wrong, but I wind up being my own worst critic as well.
It always feels to me like even on a recording you kinda had to be there.

So... why is Mearls still relevant?

An RPG is a performance where the audience is the players. I can't imagine watching an RPG to be particularly satisfying, any more than watching the audience of a ballet to be particularly enjoyable.

To be fair, plenty of players out there making a nice living out of Let's Plays and Streaming themselves.

Because he's still in charge of D&D. To answer your follow-up "because there is no justice in the world."
