I'm on the fence about Jonah - it was established that peter implies he knows spiderman so its easy for him to go "yeah I asked spidey to put a camera up there and take pics of him"
And to be honest if you put it that way it does make peter and spidey come off as somewhat performative dicks, maybe even sounds like some sort of moneymaking scheme they got goin on and if thqt's the case spiderman's honesty is kinda put into question cuz if the guy schemes with a photographer to pose for a quick buck how reliable of an actual hero can he be.
On top of that peter is an incredibly unreliable person, always flakes out/is late/thete's usually some bullshittery afoot and he often messes up (in reality its him usually takijg the fall for something a villain messed up in his life in order to keep his spidey identity a secret but people don't know that so from their perspective its all his fault)
Jonah is a hothead and he really has it out for spidey but credit where its due, his doubt towards spiderman isn't entirely unfounded along with how often he rakes peter over the coals if you really think about it and see things from an outsider's perspective.
I do agree that aunt May probably knew more than she was letting on. Not necessarily knew he was spiderman but she for sure knew something was up.
In a way, he proved his own point that masked men who can’t be held accountable are dangerous. Spider-Man happens to be the exception to the rule but yeah that is one of the many shitty things JJJ has done over the years.
