This fight is not so much about usage “bandwidth” as it is about ISPs who want to prioritize traffic depending on the source and whether the source is paying them an additional “priority” fee. Allowing them to do that creates an non-level playing field, which disadvantages the smaller sources that many users would be very interested to view.

"Big sources" also want this because they do not want to have to compete with, or these days be called out by new sources. Look at YT and the hiding dislikes. That was all about establishment players being very widely and publicly disliked for poor quality information, outright lies in some cases. How did people know? Thos smaller sources able to get a lot of attention. The minute ISP's get to prioritize, they get to create near infinite artificial value by making endless deals about who gets what and when. Nobody but the ISP'S and establishment support that garbage. There is no value added to anyone, except the ISP's and establishment.
