CMV: I support the repeal of net neutrality.

Post Body

I don’t see why everyone is freaking out about net neutrality. I get what net neutrality is - a law requiring ISPs to treat all content on the internet as equal. People say that we will now have to pay to access certain websites in “bundles”. However, let’s say there are 2 companies, A and B.

If company A started taxing the internet, it would lose many customers, who would flock to company B.

Company B, now having all the excess money flowing from a large group of customers, would not need the money that they could gain from these so called “taxes”.

Even if they did, Company C could spring up just months after that, and customers would flock to them. If their CEOs had iqs of above 14, they would see what happened to Company B and not enforce this “bundle” concept.

But, I have seen many major companies such as reddit and google, who make thousands of times more money each couple of years than I will probably make in my life, protest this change fiercely.

So, users of reddit, I’m asking you to change my mind on this very controversial issue.

Thank you for your time, Baes20
