Wouldn't ISPs just block or throttle all Tor traffic (like they did with bittorrent back before net neutrality regulations were in place).

I mean, that's my guess. Just trying to interpret GP.

I’m thinking something like the onion plus a conglomerate fee for first class citizen level prioritization.

I have no idea what you are talking about. What do you think "the onion" is?

[dsnuh]

Maybe GP is saying Tor could monetize to provide private access? Which, correct me if I am wrong, is a feature Tor doesn't even provide?

I'm pretty lost too.

[ianai]

Clearly I’m not the guy to talk to about tor/onion. I’m wondering if a network could be set up across thousands of homes somehow and that network could purchase priority of its traffic. Basically there’s always a way to add another layer of abstraction to circumvent a lower layers restrictions.

Yes, a mesh network would work for that, then you just need a method to measure how much traffic each node serves then pay the node operators for that.
