I like it.

If you've ever experienced the not too occasional fighting between cable companies and some of the networks they carry, it can get ugly. With both sides claiming they're in the right. Sometimes the channels even go off the air because the cable company won't pay what the networks want.

The only problem is if say google pulls YouTube from comcast, its not like customers have a plethora of other internet providers to choose from, so they suffer.

Would be better to not block, but show a 30 second video explaining why comcast sucks before each video.

If you're blocked, you'll only see the message once. If you have to watch a video before instead, you'll get angrier and angrier each time.

Don't preach to users that $ISP is bad, just tie the inconvenience in to lack of net neutrality.
