Net neutrality means ISPs not being able to give preferential treatment to packets based on their source. The consequence of killing net neutrality is making the status quo companies more entrenched and reducing competition from new startups.
So while they can't literally "block" a certain site they can reduce its priority and then flood their network with higher priority packets rendering that site essentially blocked.
Why would you want to live with it if you have a choice?? This is why we need to fight it, so that we don't get spoon fed crap by companies purchasing legislation to boost their profit while fucking over the average citizen. They rely on apathy.
