Alex jones - hero, anti-hero or villain?

Nope.
What I've seen of him in action I've come across without looking for it, and that's quite enough reason to not seek more.

I think he was a bit more than "outrageous" with his Sandy Hook crap.

Once upon a time I’d have agreed that Jones would always have an audience.

Now the guy seems to be completely broken. His reach has shrunk dramatically, and there is so much competing for attention (including no shortage of people occupying similar space to Jones) that it is harder for him to break through. He can’t just be crazier than Rush Limbaugh, he has to be crazy than every single entertaining Twitter account, every Twitch streamer, everyone with a camera phone and TikTok. He can cling onto a core audience through name recognition but it seems like that audience is about a third of the size of what he had at his peak.

Limbaugh at least made some sense, and was amiable. He was an amiable jerk.

Alex Jones makes little sense, and is not amiable. He is a dangerous jerk.

I don’t think Dox was trying to argue that Jones is necessarily moral, or a trustworthy source of information. He was merely saying that being hated is part of his business model.

More detail on the text message revelation:  'You Know What Perjury Is?' 

The article includes a courtroom video clip that shows Mr. Jones trying to weasel out of answering the prosecutor's "Did you know . . ." question, and the judge telling Mr. Jones to just answer the question no less than three times!

Dear Alex Jones,

There comes a time when the hole you have been digging for yourself is deep enough.  It is time to stop digging.

Sincerely,

Fnord, the Metasyntactic Variable

(P.S.: You may be able to cop a plea deal if you turn State's Witness against Donald trump.  Think about it.)

UPDATE: As Jones testified at the trial on Wednesday, Bankston revealed that Jones' lead attorney, Andino Reynal, had mistakenly sent him the last two years' worth of texts from Jones' cellphone.

An attorney for the parents of a child killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre has requested two years’ worth of records from Jones' phone.

Attorney Mark Bankston told the Texas court that the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol has also requested the digital records.  He later said outside of court that he plans to comply with the request.

(This just keeps getting better and better!)

UPDATE: After hearing seven days of evidence and a range of witnesses, jurors have begun deliberations to determine how much money InfoWars host Alex Jones must pay to the parents of 6-year-old Sandy Hook shooting victim Jesse Lewis for his campaign to portray the school attack as a hoax.

The matter was handed to jurors late Wednesday afternoon, and state District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble said she doubted they would get beyond selecting a foreperson and reading the jury charge before the courthouse closed at 5 p.m.

The real work begins Thursday.

Alex Jones must pay at least $4.1 million to parents of a Sandy Hook school massacre victim in defamation case, jury rules

Apparently Jones "Infowars" made 80m in 2021 of the back of this crap about the Sandy Hook massacre being fake

The parents of the dead kids are now launching another case against him for punitive damages for 100m.

Apparently his business model assumes the revenue he gets from publicity > amount he has to pay back in damages

Jones is taking a leaf from another high profile criminal Donald Trump by asking for donations to support his legal costs

He doesn't actually exist. Various crisis actors use 'Alex Jones' as a persona.

I found this article about this person today too, probably similar to yours. This gives me a bit of hope that these nutty conspiracy theorists will get their just desserts one day.

One unfortunate coincidence is also that Alex Jones is also the name of a Welsh TV presenter in Britain, she is a lovely lady and sometimes people get the wrong Alex Jones.
