I disagree, it would not be a waste of Tariq's time. Maybe on the surface level but when you look how he moves I can see why he would do it.
You gave the exact reason why he would do it; For soundbites/views...
Tariq does a lot of twitter spaces, and people who call in to give him props and/or to talk about the topic of twitter space he rushes their calls.
But when the white supremacists/tethers call in to troll and make bad faith arguments he will literally give them as much time as they want, then he mutes them to get his point across and then he takes those same troll calls and uploads them to his youtube page, that's his form of entertainment/soundbites/views.
So again he & F&F are two sides of the same coin in that realm since he ONLY debates his "equals"...
That's why it's a waste of his time to go on their platform. He can't control the conversation, and it could end up going 2 ways.
1. Either he shuts them down, but ultimately Myron and Nick's audience doesn't care, and will still say he lost the debate, and they will continue to perpetuate anti-black racism.
or
2. Tariq goes up there and looks like a complete fool which will compromise his reputation even further.
Even from a grifter standpoint, it's better that he continues to preserve his brand by controlling his own narrative. Either way this is not going to put real money in his pockets, unless he's actually broke and needs to take on anything to pay the bills.
