It's expending political capitol for no gain.
Network neutrality is about settlement free peering, or the free, unprioritized exchange of data across the peer networks that form the internet.
IT IS NOT about last mile providers, although midwits think it is. Being opposed to net neutrality looks like being in favor of last mile traffic prioritization.
It's mostly a fight between extremely large data hosts (Youtube, etc) and extremely large network operators (Lumen, etc), and in practice whether you have neutrality or not matters very little compared to the market forces driving the installation of new fiber. Large hosts increasingly run THEIR OWN fiber direct to major exchanges, making the whole issue moot.
Yes, I totally agree with your top comment. I don't think it's a good move for the politicians to get involved. I assumed he was speaking on behalf of us plebs. As in "why would you be against net neutrality, you're only hurting yourself!" I don't know much about it but I have heard that YouTube already has favorable peering agreements that give them an unfair advantage over competitors like Rumble. I could be for NN if it made it easier for Rumble or Gab but I don't know if that's the case.
