so i understand the uproar and the want to preserve net neutrality from that perspective.
but ive always wondered, how is it "fair" (i understand "fairness" is not a real thing but it is part of the motivation of the ISPs in this case) for Google, Netflix, FB, Amazon, etc to build billion dollar companies on the "pipes" of Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, to the point where they're worth MORE than those companies in some cases, without having to contribute a dime? was that ever gonna be sustainable?
the outright repeal of Net Neutrality clearly causes waaay more problems for consumers than it solves for business. so i hate it. but based on how business is generally conducted in America, its been damn near a miracle that we've gotten to treat the internet like a public utility for this long in the first place.
