Monetization. You need a minimum length to be eligible.

SNES Drunk videos are still very short, usually around 5 minutes plus or minus. I've heard a lot of YouTubers complain about various things regarding monetizing their videos, which is why most rely on Patreon or similar. And larger channels get sponsors.

The speculation was true. Charles Martinet will no longer be voicing Mario. He's been at it for over 30 years now so I guess he's earned a break. It is still a little sad to see someone else take the mantle.

I remember feeling similar when I saw the Super Mario 64 kiosk in the store and Mario started talking, but didn't sound like Captain Lou Albano.

Does that mean we will no longer hear him as Mario (and the other characters he's voiced) in future Mario games? Or just that he will not record new samples going forward?

Mario Wonder has a different voice actor so I think there are no plans to use his voice going forward. We should get more details in a joint video between Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles Martinet sometime soon.

Interesting.
