I've never played a Persona game before and I usually get bored by turn-based JRPGs. Should I even bother with P5?
Persona is weird, and the story is all over the place. Is P5 the time to jump in, despite not being something you were interested in up until that point? Short answer, no.

Long answer, maybe, if there's something unique about it that actually has you interested. Other people being excited about it is definitely not something to get me interested. Witcher 3 was a big departure from previous games, so I understand a lot of people starting there, for example.

Everyone is hyped about P5. I've never played a Persona game before and I usually get bored by turn-based JRPGs. Should I even bother with P5? It's frickin 100 hours minimum!
You can play SMT Persona games in any order. If you like RPGs and you love the idea that the RPG's story is set in our time, then the Persona series is one of the best choices.

For some reason, after playing thousands of RPGs since the C-64 forward, I always wanted something that is set in the present. I guess it's because of the rarity, 95% of all RPGs are fantasy, 4,9% are SF, and 0,1 is the rest. I mean, I probably couldn't name 10 RPGs set in the present time: Earthbound, Persona franchise, Alpha Protocol, Eternights... 🤷‍♂️

I'm going to add to this by saying, P5 has a totally different perspective to turn based than the rest due to being truly 3D, where you need to ambush enemies and can actually hide in the surroundings unlike the rest of the series which is more straight forward.

The easiest persona these days with the least amount of BS involved would likely be P4 Golden, since you can cheat monster creation by adding skills with cards and other grindy chores that actually alot of people like in the series....which wasnt in the original version.

I personally haven't played royal and my ps3 was cooking itself trying to play the original so its one of the few I cant really speak for...except I actually didnt like the new way you encountered monsters, but i'm a fan of the classics so 🤷‍♂️

If you enjoyed Bayonetta your going to love the newer games once you get to that point, Bayonetta is actually a rip off or clone based off DMC, one of the in-game trophhies you get is called 'Angel May Cry' as a homage to it or a joke 🤷‍♂️ never really did any reading, I just know devil may cry was first.
I like to think of Bayonetta as a spiritual successor since Hideki Kamiya was involved with both. The Virtua Fighter style jumping took time to get used to in Devil May Cry 1.

Might be time to cash out those clams before his empire of free twitch ad money crumbles.
Pretty much all the keys are gone now. While it's possible people just spent on anything that had any value, with so many high cost things also gone, some were likely removed to avoid panic buying.

Edit: Just read Discord. Yes, they were removed, since he would no longer have access to the store with his channel banned. New platform incoming maybe? It seems Twitch is over though.
