i believe his works have definitely been influential, and when i was younger and less mature, i thought his ideas were good and valuable. i think a lot of people do when younger honestly. now i have an uneasy feeling of dislike when value is attributed to nietzsche, and his philosophy to me feels like praise of ego which is opposite to my own value system. i believe his idea of a superior man who is above ethics and morals is foolish, arrogant, and inherently harmful. the influence his ideas had on the nazi party and the idea of eugenics should speak to that. separately, existentialism is interesting and valuable to learn about, really it's nietzsche in particular that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. i think if you don't connect or resonate with his ideas, drop and read something else honestly,like maybe camus!

small disclaimer: it's been a long time since i have read both nietzsche and camus, so take what i said with a grain of salt! :)
