whats the point of reading nietzsche if you haven’t dealt with philosophy for a long period in your life and see the struggle and found nietzsche as an answer/solution ?

To be fair he has nothing to lose in doing it. The media has already decided to turn him into a pariah, including Youtube corporate. It would be a great and funny video. Obviously he needn't agree with the perspectives of MacDonald (nor should he) to cause the controversy. Also it would probably, if anything, get him more subscribers and views. Also, he already reviewed Boku No Pico and that was hilarious.
