Those are a minority that get all the attention. Any tired thread that begins with some inflammatory comment about those famous concepts or quirks usually get a bunch of decent, well though out responses. I find that OPs get more replies if they meme - it's the oldest trick on the internet.

that may be true but the most important are included. 20th century French philosophers are basically Heidegger and Aristotle and Plato cover most of the Greeks philosophy. Okay maybe some medieval philsophers such as Occham, Scotus, Abelard, Anselm, etc. are missing but they are not so important when it comes to influence

he's the ideal of the unhappy consciousness trapped in the fucking conflagration of time and events, he's an aristocratic chad despising everything all too human though still being able to cry, he kows a lot about river and how fucked up the universe is and got some witz about myths and gods, that's pretty sufficient to be a perspective more appealing than being an academic conceptual-builder of bullshit like Heidegger. He's himself an ideal, like Socrate, it's a type of standpoint you choose to take in front of existence:it's an exemplum.

Then you should read some commentary. The fragments alone are not enough. Shortly he is the fist to clarify the distinction between the one and the multitude of experience. His paradoxical sentence show the intrinsic paradoxes in our dualistic / rational idea of what exist. Showing that are not the object that exist but only the one, the totality.
