What would you all say if I started an ISP that offered $3 a month for service only to a handful of websites? That would be prohibited under Net Neutrality, yet I could see something like that being useful to plenty of people, like my grandparents who use the Internet only to send emails and check their local news.
I don't like it. If someone only wanted Facebook but then considered fact checking something they read, they wouldn't be able to.
And any link that came up, like to a patient portal from your doctor, might not be supported
