Large corporations would be able to afford to make deals with ISPs to give them preferential treatment so that access to their sites are faster than others. This is good for social media sites whose whole business model is monetizing their users. Things like the Fediverse would be hit especially hard because of its distributed nature.
ISPs can offer further tiers of plans making it more expensive to access websites that don't belong to major corporations bribing the ISPs. All the corporations win in this scheme while furthering the enshittification of the Internet.
Want to use Linux? Accessing those sites is difficult and expensive so why not use Windows instead
Want to use Mastodon? Sorry but that sites super slow so how about Twitter instead.
Want to use end to end encrypted email? Too bad. The connection their servers are super spotty. Better use Gmail or Yahoo for email like everyone else.
