This guy in one breath says that we need to get rid of Net Neutrality because it’ll stifle competition and screw consumers over, and then in another statement says it’s okay to have less competition by letting two mega-corporations merge into an even fatter company, therefore potentially screwing consumers over?

tell us your incorrect understanding of nn… you do realize google facebook amazon etc are pro-nn? do you even understand why?
Look at all that smug without even a hint of point.
How is giving private corporations even more control over what people have access to a good thing?
My point is that you are a tech illiterate redditor that doesn't understand anything about NN and I am asking you to reflect on the fact that Gizmodo, a subsidiary of Univision Communications Inc is shilling for it alongside the rest of internet titans.
Quite the opposite, today you are CURRENTLY subsidizing Google Netflix Amazon Facebook bandwidth without actually using it. In developing countries, ISPs are able to provide internet services to the poor for low bandwidth sites (messaging boards, forums, news sites, Wikipedia) while blocking bandwidth-intensive sites like Netflix and YouTube. Because of NN, all ISPs in these developing countries would require throughput to deliver ultra-intensive 1080p content to all users, which their infrastructures cannot support. Who can support this level of throughput? Established internet giants. You don't know what you're talking about and it's plainly obvious. The reason why a group of determined communists cannot start a spy-free and fair ISP organization to provide people access to low-bandwidth web resources is because NN requires them to also support sites like Netflix, which increases the startup requirements by 2 orders of magnitude.
No, I don't know much about how ISP works either legally or practically. Please expand on this.
I know that isps are there to direct traffic from point to point through servers but I don't understand how this works or how capitalism controls it. What is the best way to resist capitalism in this important area?
Fuck off, /liberty/, and take your petit-bourgeois-worshiping horseshit with you.
Other guy is a retard or a glow in the dark. Net Neutrality means ISP's can't discriminate what content they provide, it doesn't force them to build infrastructure. Without NN, they can both force customers to pay them for access and force content makers to pay them for what that access is. The reason content makers like Google and Amazon support NN is obvious, as are the attempts by ISPs to abolish it. It's a porky dispute over profits, but boy will it be easier to fuck over the people without NN.
Reminder that breaking up monopolies is a petty bourgeois "progressive" demand. The proletarian demand is to bring the monopolies under state control with worker management.
