This is bad because it affects other countries...... I think that in the future you will be taxed on the oxygen that we breathe..... We're living in a world that knows nothing but money.

i am not american but i am as concerned as americans , because killing liberty of speech and freedom of innovation in the sake of money won't only hurt american and other start ups and small businesses it will also encourage other countries to take similar or maybe worse actions, this is the point of view of a moroccan who is for net neutrality in the US

Another thing to consider is advance in technology, bandwith cost is decreasing every year so I don't know how these ISP's are going to survive by increase price in a market where cost is decreasing..
Also ISP's are not only competing with other ISP, they are competing with businesses that want to sell products/services via the internet, those people are going to provide free internet for everybody if they can get those customers to buy their product.

ohh wow follow now

Luke you have been reppin the people with no bias for years much respect.

It's the smaller companies that's gonna suffer.
Bigger organisation like facebook ,google can afford to pay these tex amounts.
Its unfortunate.

True. Let's look at the bright side, companies like Twitter who are long-term unprofitable are going to have super hard time. We are possibly going to see less grow quickly, monetize later companies and the focus is going to shift on being sustainable early on.
It is going to be wild, that I think is for certain.

no real shock there. It was bound to happen.

The important aspect left out in this discussion is the possibility -- and I stress that its only a possibility -- that the free market would shatter the monopolies by allowing all of the little companies, who have been boxed out over the couple years by giants like Comcast, to begin offering you lower prices and different styles, such as pay per usage or whatever. Options. Whatever the market demanded. Which would allow the only power left to us, our consumer power, to actually be able to make a difference. So, for instance, if Comcast began giving preferential treatment to MSM over Alt Media, we would simply choose the one did not, and in an ideal free market, there would be an option, and Comcast would be the one boxed out. But sadly, just as Luke said, in todays corrupt political atmosphere, it will likely never happen that way, but with no manipulation, that is the hopeful ideal of killing so-called "Net Neutrality," which is another way of saying government control, or "price control," and I for one never feel that more government control is a good thing.

The sad part is there is no real free market. 2008 was not that far.

He is dead.

Hey Luke

Another great video!

Just wanted to say that your videos the other day about the shadow we're frickin' awesome

In your follow-up video you mentioned how they got record low views and seemed to suggest people don't want you talking about that stuff

But as an awakening young soul who loves truth and knowledge as much as you do, it really made me happy to know that you too are trying to integrate these lessons all the while staying an unbiased journalist first

Anyway, just had to say great job my man and feel free to keep those kinds of videos coming too because they are certainly appreciated

That kind of content may not get the thousands of views and hundreds of likes from people who can't operate on that wavelength, but they will reach out to people who need to hear that message

It's by expressing your authentic self the way you did in those videos that the Universal Cosmic Spirit can work through you and use you as a vessel thereby actually bringing the change you so desperately strive to bring about in a much more profound way

Sure, people will get upset and comment and debate when they see you talking about the sex scandals and all that kind of malarkey

But that doesn't change the world

It's precisely by having conversations about our shadow-sides, our egos, and sharing insight and experience about these complex and very underrated topics that we can ever hope to usher in a true revolution in consciousness

TLDR;

Don't be afraid to channel your inner hippie. Just keep being yourself man.
You are much wiser than you let on and of course to those who are attuned it shows, but to the others who are less aware than us, don't be afraid to shine your light. Because it will eventually pierce through the perceived and illusory void that ever so slightly seems to keep us separate and unable to realize we are all different expressions of the same Great Soul

Peace and love my brother
Keep up with the citizen journalism your work is gold

Also boy you must be excited about these 10 dollar SBDs am I right? :3

You Tell Um!

What do you think about this?
High level producers on the market arekilling low level business people using strategies to take them down.
And in the future there are going to be only producers that control the marken in the world.
What do you think?

I think in future we need blockchain like internet. No control by ISPs and Govt.

It is so deceptive to mislead what something actually is especially when making a bad idea sound like a good idea. Most people don't read very deep into things and are taken advantage of. This would bury the voices of those who are not fortunate enough to have wealth or too honest and not greedy and money hungry. If it were possible to suck all the oxygen from the planet to sell for profit, somehow someone would find a way to sell it as a good idea or line the pockets of those who had the power to make those decisions.

It's not hard to make things easily understood and not complicated or especially deceiving.

Congressional Review Act (CRA)
The CRA lets our elected officials in Congress nullify actions by Federal agencies like the FCC. Most bills need 60 votes in the Senate, but the CRA only requires a simple majority in the House and Senate.
This isn’t easy. We’ll have to apply a ton of pressure to Congress in creative ways. But with the momentum we have right now, we think we’re close.

In the Senate we may be starting at 50/50. Meanwhile, 83% of voters support net neutrality[1] and the level of public outcry (we’re sure you’ve seen it too) has been just off the charts. This is winnable.
Contact your Senator and congressman today and every day until this is won.

This is our internet, no theirs

Why remove Net Neutrality? Don't they companies already earn enough money? So much greed these days.

It's happening everywhere now in this world...It's not easy to survive as a small business owner in this world.... Because small business owner they always faced huge travel from Government also... It's my opinion... I saw this practically in my country as a small business owner.. Even still iam suffering also... Anyhow thanks dear friend for your great post....

hello

I'm waiting for the decentralised Internet 2.0

Here's what I really think about this:

[ CONTENT NOT SUPPORTED BY YOUR CURRENT VERIZON PACKAGE, PLEASE CONTACT ANY REPRESENTATIVE AND UPGRADE YOUR PLAN TODAY FOR $2.99 TODAY]

I find this perverse. First, they create monopolies and then start running around screaming about the free market to allow those monopolies to start practices that in a truly free market would lead to people switching to their competition. What a racket. Another perverse part is that they want to double charge the biggest service providers on the internet. Those services are already paying (crazy money) for their internet connection, why should they have to pay extra?
Well, it is going to be interesting to see how long it is going to take for the ISPs to start rolling out what they always wanted and what shape it is going to take. As a response we are going to see rise of a lot of new stuff that will try to fix the issue, the question is if it will be any good and if it manages to get to people in time.
But who knowns, maybe I'm just a bit more pesimistic than usual.

You should really step up your mic work. (look like gain is too high, It's clipping)

Thanks for all your info .. I just sign up to this site because of u.. Just showing my gratitude... Not many people stay centered like your program..

I find this repeal of net neutrality thing very unsettling. I've been running a start up with my two other co-founders the past 2.5 years. Everything was fine and dandy until our self-proclaimed "hero", Ajit Pai threw a wrench into everything. My partners and I have even discussed the dissolution of our company if things go the way we fear it may. Let's pray the Congressional Review Act will save our skin.

It only benefits the big corporations and hurts the masses just like many things in the system. Somethings it seems the world is spinning in the wrong direction.

I wish D.Tube made a play icon on their thumbnails. I always think the picture in the post is just a picture and not a link to D.Tube...

Can't believe we actually lost the Net Neutrality battle. This is very bad in an insidious boiling-frog sense of things and will very likely get worse.

Amazing! Don't give up please

The end is comming!!!

https://i.blogs.es/621f66/650_1000_neutralidad-red-1/450_1000.jpg

Do you guys like facts? NOPE. Got it.

In the USA net neutrality has destroyed small businesses...
For my company of 5 people because we are a business we pay $650.00 per month with Time Warner Cable. Do you know how much it was before net neutrality? $99.00! So please stop with your nonsense. Learn some facts. Net neutrality has increased prices on small business while keeping the prices of MEGA corporation down.

All of you sit at home with your mom pretend to be doing business. Getting quick rich of crypto currency has nothing to do with knowing economics or business. Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

Most of you are just too young to even know how much the internet was before Obama, heck most of you don't even pay for your own internet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMDG3Jrfdmc

Exactly. People should just look at what net neutrality does whenever it is enforced. Take the Netherlands for example. Or they should ask themselves why in the world any cable provider would even dare to restrict your internet access price as well as content-wise. As long as there is no state run monopoly, providers will always try to offer what appeals to the most customers. They sure don't want to loose money because people don't want what they're offering. It's common sense.

Yes it is! I am glad other people understand this. Thank you for the reply!

This video explained a very complicated topic simply. Thank you for adding it on to this video. Internet is a public utility and ought to be treated as such. This is a play by the telecommunications companies trying to monopolize there strong hold against other large monopolies like facebook.

Quick Rich?? This is far from a Quick-RICH platform, bitcoin is still not widely adopted.

Eh. Either way I ain't shook. Decentralized tech is going to make the whole thing irrelevant anyway I think.

We need to start developing p2p wireless decentralized ISPs soon though. That's how we could really fuck with the Telelcom companies. Viva la Techno Socialism!

Net neutrality = government dictating how private companies can use and operate their private property. Get government out of the way of entrepreneurs so competition can occur. FYI fiber ain't shit, it's the core routing that is the brains of any network(this is where the real cost and engineering takes place).

Human is developing, why our Internet Technology is moving backward?

It’s very non-sense. I want to uphold my right to gain access to different sources of information on internet without any restriction. I don’t want the telecommunications company to filter any information for me or even I need to pay more if I like to watch Netflix or YouTube. It is really a post we all should upvote it, make our views known to the US Senate.

Face it, under the current capitalist system big business is in control. Large corporations, banks and the energy sector have politicians and judges as their puppets....but....
Crypto and the blockchain can change all of that. Take the control away from the profit whales and put it back into the hands of normal people

The repeal of net neutrality aims to enable big business to make more profit. It had nothing to do with crime or anything else.

this is good man

Net neutralitydoes (in the long run ) regulate how ISP's can decide what content to charge for. net neutrality is VERY SIMPLE, it states all content is delivered the same. THAT IS IT. Repealing net neutrality opens the floodgates for ISP's to charge for a la carte conteot prices. They are wanting to charge x amount for Netflix speed, HBO Go speed, Download speed, etc. This gives more power to Time warner ( now Spectrum) Comcast, and other ISP's to control their pricing tiers. KEEP IN MIND TIME WARNER AND COMCAST HAVE THE LOWEST CONSUMER SATISFACTION RATINGS OF ALL FORTUNE 500 COMPANIES EVER!!! This is exactly why time warner cable changed to Spectrum and Comcast rebranded to xfinity!!!!

There is so much more that no one is talking about. The technology used to target people operate off the mobile platform. When 5G is implemented...this stuff can alter our DNA; the technology can be used to remotely maim or kill. Our free will is in jeopardy...our way of life...

Hey Luke! So happy to see your on are Steemit/Dtube, I should have known. I just joined 8 days ago and I plan on eventually doing some journalistic type videos myself. Keep up the good work and please swing by my channel and help me change my life by giving me an upvote :)
