How is that compatible with Net Neutrality?

Can an ISP subsidize access to Netflix because they save on transit?

It's only incompatible when ISPs actually act on their natural preference for consumption to go towards in-house edge caches. It's not that much different from the ancient art of configuring http servers and caching proxies to get along well (back even caching proxies were still a thing).
