If we stage a nation-wide boycot of Amazon, Walmart.com, and a few other big retailers (and stop using Google, Bing et al) I can almost guarantee it that they will move mountains to bring back net neutrality. You have to get the big corporations a profit motive to get anything done in this country.

Except everyone you listed is for net neutrality, and yet the decision still passed
If they start losing money they will have a much stronger motivation to act. I feel like they say they are for it but they are not spending considerable resources (they should be) to stand up to the FCC.
Who is "we"? People who read Hacker News? Yeah that will surely change things.
"We" is "we who get others onboard"? No point in being a pessimist.
