How much is Null willing to pay Comcast to keep Kiwifarms un-throttled?

Only those getting bribed by the lobby groups and partisan spergs would publicly support the death of net neutrality because of how unpopular it is. However, I would not be surprised if a number people publicly claiming they're against are privately for it.
Amazon, Netflix, Google, Facebook and the rest of the major web companies would greatly benefit from net neutrality being abolished. Those are gigantic multi-billion dollar businesses and at least two of them are looking to own every aspect of your life. They'll pay into whatever demands Comcast and Verizon want. In exchange, they gain the ability to suppress any upstart competition. Google and Amazon would love to be able to deliver commercials to people using adblock on Youtube and Twitch but haven't because they're afraid of feeding competition using alternative monetization. There's no need to worry about that when net neutrality makes them unusably slow or completely denies access to the site because it isn't popular enough. I would not at all be surprised to find out some of them are funding lobby groups to make net neutrality gone.
Political shills of all walks would love to be able to kill off fringe websites. For us, the death of net neutrality would mean normies can't ruin websites anymore. However, it also means there might not be any websites for the normies to ruin. For most people, there really isn't a benefit to killing off net neutrality. Maybe if you look at it as way to starve off web connected workplace automation, but that would just resurface in non-connected ways.

If you like going to any website you like and having it load, you're for it. And if you say you aren't you're literally a fucking moron. If you're against it, you're for metered Internet access and having to pay by the page load for any website not on the approved list of whatever your ISP likes.
Note, that would mean this site would be effectively off the Internet along with the other unpopular sites like Stormfront and so on. In fact, some consider us worse, for no particular reason. So not only would we be finished, since even if we still had a domain and host, it would be very easy to get us on a blacklist of "give this website 100 baud for anyone trying to load it" shared by all the monopolists, but so would a lot of our lolcows.
Anyone who thinks they're against net neutrality doesn't know what the fuck it is and has no idea how the Internet they're using even works.

Ajit should bribe an SJW queen into saying this would be a good way to kill off internet pornography and therefore misogyny. Then when the internet shits on them they can do the usual harassment song and dance.

Tbh I'd rather obnoxious SJWs get the fuck off the pro-net neutrality side because people are mindlessly knee jerking just to be against them. Trump is mindlessly knee-jerking because Obama gave it tepid support. SJWs are mindlessly knee-jerking because Trump is against it, or they assume he is. Seriously, if people thought getting rid of net neutrality would kill a bunch of dangerhairs this wouldn't really bother them.
They actually should be for getting rid of it because it would make the censorship of everything they don't like a simple matter of whining en masse to every ISP to get any traffic they don't like blackholed.

Trump supporters don't realize that if NN gets abolished, advertisers won't want to support their asses because supporting Trump is an majorly unfavorable opinion.

Trump may be an outlier, but publicly supporting either side in partisan politics is going to drive away customers from the other side. That's why a lot of corporations just shower both sides with the max amount of donations they can, so no matter who wins, they are owed favors.

It’s got nothing to do with censorship, it’s the Comcasts of the world seeing their cable TV business going away and moving to the Internet and killing net neutrality is how to recover some of their losses.
The bandwidth used by kiwifarms when compared to Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc. traffic makes this site’s bandwidth usage a rounding error. Also, the ISPs already censor sites today.
Getting rid of net neutrality is still a consumer-hostile shit move, but it’s got nothing to write strangling dissent.

Which is why they'd get rid of us in a heartbeat just to appease some SJWs. The people who care about us are also in the negatives.
Ask @Null about this.

Has any of these chimpouts stated that they wished harm on Ajit Pai, and/or his family and friends? (Is the pajeet married/has children?) Like say, Ajit tries to call 911, but the phone operator refuses to service him, saying "You took away Net Neutrality, I take away your 911 rights, and hopefully your life too"?
And if Phil knew about this fiasco, I would picture him doing a drawing of Sasuke shooting John McCain in the head again, except with Ajit getting shot instead.

Do something good with this, please...
After all, this is one way (of many) on how we begin to fight back as citizens (rather than consumers to these greedy Jews!) - not just keeping NN in place, but also fighting for innovation and/or competition, via breaking up all of these monopolies... This is a great reason to hate Trump, as none of that will happen under him, badly as it needs to, so we don't end up like some half-assed version of China, down the line!

Look I'm just gonna say it, net neutrality is some pretty restrictive bullshit that impedes the free market. The majority of people out there want the internet spoonfed to them, they want email and facebook and maybe instagram. The way the internet works now is like having to buy every single cable channel when all you want is the Seinfeld reruns. If ISP's were able to craft streamlined packages for people, they could collect incentives for including big companies in their 'Normie Packages', and pass the savings on to the consumer. Everybody wins. The big social media companies win, the service providers win, the normal internet user wins, and the casual user who only wants a pipeline to his facebook wins. That's how the free market works.
I didn't know this website was full of so many communists.
