>indentations after every sentence instead of actual paragraphs
Even the "good" LNs like Monogatari do this. The entire genre exists for the benefit of people too retarded to process more than three lines of text at a time. It's probably the most grating style of writing I've ever read.

>I feel as if many of the people who actually read philosophy don't care much about the ideas
Why would you ever think this

>but rather moreso about the ability to say they "read philosophy" and be better than the common person as a result
I think you really overestimate how much the average person cares about philosophy or even knows what it is. If you go out and try to flex on some random person by reading philosophy its going to be a strange and disappointing encounter.

>This means then that the average philosophy reader has to read even more verbose works...
Except this isn't the case at all. In academic philosophy, you find your specialty and your area of interest, and work from there. People who specialize in Ancient Philosophy don't read things that are half as wordy as analytic metaphysicians or Phenomenology specialists, but because its not a pissing contest, nobody feels like they aren't doing "real" philosophy or second-rate philosophy.

>At their very core, even Deleuze and Heidegger aren't that difficult in terms of their core ideas, it is moreso how the ideas are phrased and interpreted that make them truly a challenge.
Please explain Heidegger or Deleuze to me in less than a paragraph. Keep in mind, you have to do so in such a way so as to avoid ambiguity and actually say something meaningful. You'll quickly realize that technical language exists for a reason, and this normie youtube science "if you can't say it simply you don't really understand it" hackjob is exactly that.

All I see in this post is someone who cracked The Critique of Pure Reason based on the recommendation of the internet, found it incomprehensible because he has no background in philosophy, and decided that if he can't understand it nobody can.

This guy is too far in. He thinks he has to keep going because of the time and money he has invested. He is the little old lady frantically putting her last quarter into a slot machine because it has to pay out now since she put so much into it already. It never pays off because the house always wins. Don't burn your youth away pursuing what is arguably the least useful degree imaginable. You'll just wind up teaching poor schmucks like yourself. This man is an imbecile, he is deceitful and he will lead you down a path of debt, poverty, dissatisfaction and failure.
