The images work me, even the ones in the OP work (and you cant edit drama). Maybe you should check your own stuff before making a jab at someone.I mean, they dont work for me either

They already do this though. Pre-net neutrality you still pay for the package of all services being offered, they dont have to charge you for this package of services, its just an extra fee that they tack on to their universal plan to make more money. Post-net neutrality will still have the same exact fees that they add to packages of services, which again are completely arbitrary and unnecessary. The only difference is that the customer will have a choice over packages and CAN save money. If you compare the two, different customers can save different amounts of money or end up spending more. Just like cellular plans, you pick whichever provider and plan works best for you, and theres a lot of competition so you have a healthy selection to choose from.The ISP does NOT pay more for all websites. There is no grouping of certain services, the ISP provides access to a universal, centralized service, not just one website. The ISP does not pay more to give the client access to everything. There is no service with access to certain websites. If you have access to the internet, you should have access to everything.
Then you can pick a different ISP that might charge less for their gaming package, if say you're a gamer and you want to fully utilize the gaming services. You'd still end up paying for it anyways in the universal package, its just since you're only given a net fee of all the services combined you can't actually see how much you're paying for each package that exists inside the universal plan.In the majority of the US, there is no competition. In my town, in New York, there is only 2 providers of internet, Spectrum and Frontier (for DSL only). They charge you an overly large fee (~$60/mo) for what little they provide (100:10). Since there is no competition in my area, not only the price will continue to gradually increase, but my choices will also be limited more and more once my ISP finds out that there's nothing to stop it. If you give these corporations the ability to charge you for access to websites they can previously give you for no increase in price, without any sort of competition whatsoever, the freedom to do so will give them the opportunity to either force you to pay ridiculous amounts of money for access to those sites, or not give you the opportunity to access the websites.
not if i opt out of buying whatever packages i dont use. like honestly i dont even listen to music i could easily just avoid buying the music package and save like $10
net neutrality basically centralizes all internet services into one bulk package that you pay like $40 a month for but you only end up using like 5% of the package by the end of the month. so if you're someone who never watches movies just, like, dont pay for the movie package and now your monthly bill is like $30 dollars. or maybe you arent a gamer, dont buy the gamer package. $20
if you use every service at once 24/7 then yea obviously its going to cost you maybe $5 more than if you were to use the universal package while net neutrality existed
you're paying for bandwidth and the packages all included into the plan. with net neutrality gone you'll still pay for bandwidth you want but you'll also have the option to pay for the packages you want as well. you could potentially save a lot of money if you're someone who only uses specialized packages like news only, or maybe music only, etc.
