It's already insanely difficult to beat the network effect of an existing social media website, now imagine if Newstagram counted against your 4GB limit but Instagram didn't... If the discrimination was based on content, eg by MIME type, that would be fair, but it wouldn't be technically enforceable under HTTPS (and easily bypassed anyway). Then again, why is that even needed? Why does the premium package have to be "unlimited video" and not "unlimited gigabytes [wherever you download it from]"? Does it cost your ISP any less to transport hours of 4K Netflix than hours of 4K illegal streaming sites? Your cheap 4GB package would be unaffected anyway, net neutrality determines what you can buy at the higher tiers.
