Exactly. When Netflix pays extortion to ISPs that money comes from your pocket, not Netflix's profits.

And when Netflix stops paying money to ISPs, the ISPs will get that money from... your pocket.

All of this is fungible and companies compete for the marginal dollar of revenue. Despite the wishcasting of central planners, there's no magic way to manifest money out of the pockets of one class of corporations without the system shifting to a new equilibrium.

The issue is that now smaller ISPs or honest ISPs have to raise their advertised prices compared to Comcast.
