It was amusing, but he really needs to work on his framing. Also he needs to work on his timing
for his jokes. Other than that I can see how someone would find it funny. I don't see anyone
devoting actual time to watching an entire series, but one or two episodes, yeah sure.

I don't know. I think this doesn't explain a lot of the problems of missing net neutrality.
For the sake of argument, let's assume you are a customer of an imaginary ISP called "VeriAT".
They already get money from two sources: Their end customers (like you) and those who host their
content using their connections (they're also their customers). Both kinds of customers already
pay for their traffic, even though in your case a flatrate is nothing more than a socialized
per-GB price. If a customer of another ISP wants to watch stuff that originates from VeriAT they
send the data over to that ISPs net. Since there is also data coming back from that ISP to
VeriAT's net, ISPs usually have peering contracts that handle the payment.

So everyone gets paid and everyone's happy, right?
Apparently not. VeriAT now decides to introduce not only their own video streaming sites
(VeriTube and VeriFlix) but also go on full SJW atheist and block all religious sites, certain
video sites and everything with a critical opinion. Because a missing net neutrality allows them
to. And they're not the only ones, every ISP does this now. Many of the blocked sites simply
can't afford to pay 250 ISPs around the world to route their content so what you end up with is a
VeriAT net. The Internet is basically gone. Every ISP has their own set of special sites that are
not available and even if you have the luxury of being able to select from a few ISPs you can't
really know in advance who blocks what.
Missing net neutrality creates a huge bunch of monopolies and you, the customer, is who suffers
most from it while ISPs like VeriAT make even more money without doing any extra work.

You missed the final point.
A lot of people against Net Neutrality are against it because in their opinion, a free market
without government control is superior. Whether or not you agree on this is irrelevant, because
what those people don't know is; the crucial part of a free market, being able to choose who you
buy from, is missing. Most areas have a single cable ISP, be it Comcast or Time Warner or
Verizon, or whatever. Cable, which includes fiber, is the highest speed of internet available in
the US to most consumers, and by a wide margin, too. If you don't like your provider, your either
suck it up, or switch to DSL and suffer. The cable company doesn't have to worry about losing
customers, so they can do whatever they like to squeeze a buck. This is why Net Neutrality is so
important, and is a very important note to bring up to people against it for the sake of being
against big government.
