Out of all the obscurantist, pointless, inane philosophy I've had the pleasure of wasting my time reading, this one tops them all.

In general, "philosophy of time" is a bit dubious. A lot of historical arguments regarding the nature of time have been made obsolete by Einstein's theories, quantum mechanics, the second law of thermodynamics etc. But even if we completely ignore all the physics, it is sometimes still fair to question the ontological nature of time -- for instance, the "reality" of the past and future (eternalism, fatalism etc.)

But this b-theory "time is an illusion" bullshit is nonsensical. I don't even know where to start. The semantic trickery? The circular arguments? The lack of any implications or insight or value whatsoever? It might as well have been a fat stoner rambling for 2 hours like DUDE WHAT IF TIME DOESN'T EXIST.
