12. Pretty soon on the silencing.

Once the FCC and Congress kill net neutrality, small news and special interest sites are going to be the first to go. They won't be able to afford the "carriage fees" that will come with being labeled a "news site." That category is likely going to be the third most expensive, behind retail and entertainment (think Netflix) because the pockets of the large sites are deep. And, of course, there will be some bullshit carve outs for small, poor sites that are ideologically aligned, like Breitbart.

But yeah, it's happening.
