Net Neutrality, an unbiased look...
...done in the context of how it affects anime. Yeah it talks about anime, so shoot me. You could substitute the word "anime" for any other streaming service though and it's equally relevant.

Net neutrality being removed basically takes the internet back to the way it was pre 2015 if I understand correctly. So yes, internet companies have the ability to control your speeds to certain websites, for streaming, and for gaming as well. I don't think that it will be as extreme as everyone says its going to be. I don't think that much will change at all, to be honest. I think this is another example of the media getting out of hand and giving everyone the worst possible case scenario of what could happen. And lets be honest with ourselves, does the worst possible thing imaginable happen often?
Beyond that, it might not be a bad idea to have internet plans broken down like cable is today. I mean it could be cheaper even. Like what, $20-30 for your base, then $5 for whatever you wanna use. $5 for entertainment, i.e. Netflix, Youtube, Hulu, and whatever other streaming service. $5 to be able to play online games at the best speed possible. 5$ for general internet usage such as websurfing, email, and things like that.
This is just my opinion, but I don't think that its going to be as bad as everyone thinks. I don't like to blow my stack at the slight possibility of something negative happening.
1- STREAMING ANIME LUL
2- streaming sites aren't in the US so removing net neutrality will not affect them
3- did he just say crunchyroll is a great company ?! LOOOOL. What a sellout. It makes the entire video invalid.
4- good riddance cuz fuck anime
I already know my ISP is going to go back to their old ways of charging for email and streaming. Gonna be amazing to pay over $150 AGAIN...........
