>> [_] Anon 2762631 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.
>> [_] Anon 2762697 >># I agree
>> [_] Anon 2762709 i found this more informative than real news sites about the same thing
>> [_] Anon 2762750 >># Agreed
>> [_] Anon 2762816 >># 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.
>> [_] Anon 2762818 >># 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.
>> [_] Anon 2763067 >># 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.
