Do you guys read literature by authors even if they are horrible people?

I have been thinking about this because ive noticed throughout the world of literature there have been some shitty people from abusive alcoholics to neo nazis to pedophiles and some of them create some great work I just want to know the general scope of people who separate art form the artist

personally I think art is much more spiritual and important then the person who made it so I can apricate a lot of different works of arts from people despite me hating their guts and praying on their downfall like the ginsberg situation despite me thinking he is a piece of shit who should've been gone long before he died I do almost feel guilty for loving some of his works and his ideas. Do you feel the same?
