I just made this comment moments ago in another thread, but it is probably better off here:

I am as ignorant as anyone and just want to share my opinion.

So in trying to find information about this decision I noticed that the arguments for NN are generally memes and shaming, whereas anti-NN actually enter discussion and try to convince me. I do like net neutrality, but the obvious truth is that Obama's bill titled "net neutrality" is about as honest as the "patriot act". Despite Obama's so-called "NN" we still see video sites being throttled during peak hours and unsavory websites being deplatformed; clearly what we have now is not the NN that the people actually desire. Who does desire it? Soros and a slew of freedom hating democrats, google, and other bandwidth hogs.

What do I expect from a repeal of NN? Subscription video sites will likely be forced to increase their premiums in order to supply high quality videos without buffering while free tube sites will likely see a die off where survivors monopolize advertising dollars in order to stay afloat. The price of your internet is more likely to fall than it is to rise (if you are lucky enough to have a choice. If you aren't they could have raised your price anyways, but they have not) with increased competition due to restructuring of who pays for bandwidth (every single customer, or just the customers using premium services) and new competitors entering a now deregulated market.

If anyone would take the time to explain why I should support Obama's net neutrality bill (as opposed to true net neutrality as we had before he implemented it) you would be the first and I would be happy to hear it.

If you look at (((Everyone))) for Net “Neutrality”... Is why I am against it...

Voted for Trump because I couldn't stomach Hillary. But Trump is a fucking idiot. Fuck you Dems for putting the country in this predicament. Get your shit together or we have 4 more years of this.

8 more years, bro.

I hate most republicans. When Dems need to put feels over reals and give into identity politics they will lose.

Both parties need a big rework, which is why I follow neither.

Donald J. Trump on Twitter: "Obama’s attack on the internet is another top down power grab. Net neutrality is the Fairness Doctrine. Will target conservative media."
