I’m very surprised by some of the comments here questioning the value of restoring net neutrality. Times have changed.

It's probably because none of the hysterics or doomsday propaganda actually came to pass.

The doomsday "propaganda" didn't come to pass because several states and localities promptly passed their own net neutrality laws after it was deregulated at the federal level. The larger ISPs couldn't find a workable way to implement their non-neutral bullshit in some markets but not others, and the local ISPs in places with no net neutrality laws never really had enough clout to do crappy things in the first place.

Hm. I would encourage a different, less intense angle here. It’s possible the doomsday didn’t come to pass because a lot of passionate people worked very hard to make sure we avoided it.

Seat belts may seem useless too if you've never been in an accident.

On Reddit there was a lot of bot activity downplaying net neutrality. May be the case here too
