And again, while that particular playstyle isn't for me, if it means continued health and expansion of the game I will suffer the move to cater for it.
Why do you have to suffer it? Why can't you just not watch it?

I don't suffer it because I don't watch it but I can't avoid the change in emphasis in Adventures League module writing. And I guess the point is that the OP is concerned that this change in emphasis will bleed into the hardcovers.Why do you have to suffer it? Why can't you just not watch it?
Why is that? If someone is playing a game that doesn't suit their playstyle then making them aware of it is just friendly advice.Any time you tell someone that they are playing the wrong game, even with your preface of 'I don't want to be a jerk but' I think you need to have a bit of a look at yourself.
You think you can tell if an entire roleplay game suits a stranger's playstyle by one post on the internet?Why is that? If someone is playing a game that doesn't suit their playstyle then making them aware of it is just friendly advice.
A friend of mine has an interesting theory. < snip >
Your "friend's" . . .
I am the OP's friend with the theory!
Spoiler alert! He's real:
And still wrong.
I am the OP's friend with the theory!
Context:
I own every published physical 5th edition product so far and l have them all on Beyond. I have played in or run every AP so far and am currently DMing DotMM (Level 14), run a 9 table Adventurers League night, co-host a D&D (not actual play) podcast and spend countless €€€€ on out of print and third party products every month. I am as hardcore a fan as it gets really!
What streamers represent is a rarified version of a playstyle that Wizards are trying to cater for. Witness the Season 8 AL modules, particulary Once in Waterdeep and the first two Tier 1 trilogies. They explicity push a type of slapstick, extra playstyle. The OP, I guess, is saying that this drive to cater for heavy RP doesn't suit everyone and is part of a move to cater to a wider audience. And again, while that particular playstyle isn't for me, if it means continued health and expansion of the game I will suffer the move to cater for it.
