The comments are the proof that the Ajit Pai and the FCC went into the process already planning to axe net neutrality and ignored the real comments put forth by net neutrality supporters in favor of fake comments put forth by net neutrality detractors that arguably constitute identity theft. [1]

FCC comments are like petitions: useless, virtual-signaling, pseudo-actions that are easily ignored. Calling reps and challenging their re-election prospects are the most fundamental ways to influence the FCC because the corporations have the most say when the people don't make enough noise.

Except for when they’re not ignored? Remember Wheeler who was against net neutrality, and then he wasn’t after the comments?
