Subjective experience can both be something real and also not something special in some magical sense.

If subjective experience were really just an illusion, why would you care about what happens to yourself - hell, why would you even have a concept of 'yourself'?

I dont care what happens to me. If my consciousness stops its not my problem anymore anyway

The illusion is here might as well go along until it stops
