Seriously curious as to why this is getting down-voted. Is it because it's AI generated, not good, or something else?

All of the above. It's AI generated, which, while interesting, is black-mirroresque after the past few years where people have put real effort in holding sessions and recording them for podcasts. It also features some really annoying voices, several of whom are in politics--it's unsurprising that the community doesn't want those voices to have airspace here. It's also not good. Much of the banter is weak (or only "funny" by being offensive, which is also weak) and the DM exposition is bland. And it's a link out, rather than a conversation--youtube has a comment section to discuss the video, making it being linked here nothing more than advertising. Advertising, while necessary for businesses, is absolutely horrible to the individuals bombarded with it who did not sign up for it. It's one thing to have a bespoke community to serve as a link aggregator that people can opt into, but the downvotes here serve as a critique of this type of content moving forward. At least, that's some reasons why I would downvote this.
I didn't downvote but I'd imagine it's because people aren't interested in seeing this kind of content in this community, and want things to be more discussion based here.
