seems like a waste of money when you can spin up a vm in a US cloud provider and get all the benefits of their inter-ISP agreements.

net neut going away isn't going to change anything with your internet aside from maybe its a little faster from other networks/content providers paying for upgrades.

net neutrality doesnt mandate a price on internet access, they could already charge $250 if they wanted

ISPs won't change anything directly affecting users because they're all publicly-traded companies, and the PR blowback would inevitably cost them money/investors (at least in the short-term). they'll go for the "paid-prioritization" route that they're already saying they want to do using QoS rules that companies can pay for to get an edge. Netflix pays for prioritization, for example, so during the 7-10pm window of time where something like 75% of all consumer internet traffic in the US is web streaming, Netflix gets an edge over their competitors like Hulu, which will potentially load slower and seem like a shittier service unless they pay for prioritization as well.

of course, then netflix and hulu and etc. will charge the end-users more to make up for the cost of prioritization. consumers pay for it in the end.

if isps start nickel and dimeing content providers they'll be forced to merge to offset the costs and i'm all for ending the current trend of content being balkanized into a bazillion individual services

Repealing net neutrality is anti-innovation.

In an alternate past Yahoo pays ISPs for prioritization so Google is never able to get off the ground even though they have the better search algorithm.

Really, it's extortion. It's the same business model as a highwayman.

That argument wasn't about the Google of today you dummy, it's about the power large corporations now have to stymie any new internet services that could pose a threat to the existing monoliths. There is a long and storied history of capital undercutting innovation of this kind, and now our corporate overlords have yet another tool to employ to maintain their economic hegemony at our expense.

Is the idea of top tier tech companies having leverage with carriers or gaining it through corporate consolidation that improbable to you?

but it does. YouTube now has CDN points in most COs. when you connect to youtube you are connecting to a magical box inside comcast or verizon's central office.

the fcc 2015 open internet order explicitly says it doesn't talk about peering or exchange.

there's a bigger war over this in the background, with ISPs saying that settlement-free peering can't uphold in a world where traffic is one-way
