My Take
Paul Joseph Watson is a figure I find difficult to admire but impossible to ignore. From Sheffield, he rose through Alex Jones's InfoWars promoting 9/11, chemtrail and Pizzagate conspiracy theories before pivoting to culture-war commentary. I do not share his views, and I think the misinformation he spread caused real harm. Still, as a case study he is instructive: he embodies how the internet age rewards confident provocation over accuracy, and how attention itself becomes currency. I treat him less as someone to follow than as a mirror reflecting the fragility of truth in a digital media environment we all now inhabit.
