While I'm not sure how meaningful this website is.. my guess is that a lot of people outside of the tech scene do not understand just how massive the change of net neutrality policies will be for everyone.

To think that more than a handful companies will make $$$ from abolishing NN is delusional. The monopolies will just cut you out from the market and you're on the other side of the fence - with no money but a lot of angry pro-NN folks around you.

There is nothing 'massive' about a rule that was implemented in 2015 and caused little change at the time it was implemented. In the previous 15 years without neutrality rules, there were a few instances of ISPs acting badly, but those were fairly quickly resolved.
