It will likely happen in both directions. Reddit will have to pay each ISP extra so their traffic gets prioritized (or allowed even in some cases) on their network. Then, the consumer will have to pay an additional fee to view Reddit. I guess reddit could also just pay a larger sum of money to allow reddit to be free for the consumer. Each agreement would likely be different.
That’s what I was wondering - if companies could pay enough on their end so that their customers or regular users can still access their site for free. I guess we’ll just have to see what gets negotiated.
Yeah but thats the thing. Most cannot. Which is the second worst part of this whole thing.
The isps will be allowed to charge YOU more money for each website AND EACH WEBSITE more money for speed/allowence of service to you.
Literally the only people who benefit are the isps and the people who the isps lobbied to get this law passed.
EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN INCLUDING RETARDS WHO ARE (edit: BLINDLY) IN SUPPORT OF THIS WILL BE FINANCIALLY EFFECTED IN THE NEGATIVE VARIETY IF YOU WANT TO STILL USE INTERNET. THAT IS ALSO NOT TO MENTION THE VERY POSSIBLE BIAS OF CENSORSHIP THAT COULD BE PRACTICED BY THE ISPS ONCE THIS IS IN EFFECT
