the real problem is that people on /lit/ treat reading philosophy as equivalent to bodybuilding: a strenuous unpleasant discipline you submit to in order to gain some kind of outward status. they're both ultimately modelled on our gamified, alienating economy. you sacrifice X hundred hours and in exchange you get to use Hegelian jargon. whether your subjective experience of the world is actually any richer is beside the point.

You could read the entire canon and not at all be any better for it. It’s not a video game to improve your life where you level up after each philosopher

Reading philosophy can often be a strenuous unpleasant discipline, but you are right that people often do it for vain reasons. I struggle through works like Being and Time but I only do so because when I was a teenager I read a bunch of Wikipedia pages about it and took introductory college courses and now I feel I owe it to myself to actually follow through and genuinely try to understand it. I often fail to directly apply the knowledge to real life because it doesn't have any motivating effect (except for Deleuze). It's not written to change your life in some self help way like some anons seem to believe. It can provide a backdrop that can ground your understanding of the world, roughly similar to how Christians view the world through the lens of the Bible, but with less cohesiveness and more critical thinking (sorry Christians).
