As shown by the fight to keep it, people clearly care about throttling/censorship of websites. ISP's will not be able to ignore the overwhelming majority of people.

No they won't. Thanks to the monopolies cable companies and internet providers have set-up with OTHER cable companies and internet providers, they have ZERO incentive to listen to their consumers. We get shit internet where I'm from, the company could do 300X better, but they don't have to because there's no competition. There's no reason for Comcast not to throttle or censor, if they're going to make more money with no competition, that's what they'll do.
Competition will arise if there is a large enough demand for it. Net Neutrality has actually gotten rid of this competition by forcing standards on these companies.
They. Have. Monopolies. You hear about Google Fiber? They were the closest thing to competition that cable companies got and they got screwed out of it because of lobbying from Comcast and other cable companies.
There's no competition to be had, because there is literal monopolies. That's how a monopoly works...
So the US government, which bent to the lobbying of ISP's, is now the thing protecting us from the ISP's? I agree with you fully on the injustice that was screwing competition(google) through lobbying, and its scary they could do it to such a large company, but the fact that the same people who did this are the ones who Supported Net Neutrality signals that something isn't right.
and I'm telling you that the end of Net Neutrality is not at all good for the consumer.
Nothing good will arise from this.
Wait, you mean it won't cost me 99c for each post on reddit?
