Therr was a massive astro turf campaign on reddit regarding NN. Of course there is some motive behind it when money is being spent to lobby it.

I even read something about how "people will literally die without NN". That kind of rhetoric should be a signal.

Yes but that is unrelated to net neutrality.

NN doesn't prevent a carrier from offering a plan with Unlimited* data where the asterisk means "up to 25GB at maximum speed, lowered to 128/64 Kbps after exceeding the limit, until the end of billing period".

It would prevent the carrier from not counting certain traffic in the data usage or not limiting the speed of some traffic after the data limit is reached.
