Capitalism

Strongly agree

Yes, only if it’s strictly based on a pay-per-quality model

Capitalism supports the idea of businesses being able to charge more for better services, and a pay-per-quality model would align with this principle. This approach would allow ISPs to charge more for faster access while still maintaining a level playing field for competition. However, this score is not a 5 because some proponents of capitalism may still argue for a more laissez-faire approach.

Yes, this would make the internet faster and more reliable for users

Agree

Yes, but only give priority by type (video over images) and not source (big website over little website)

This answer represents a compromise between the principles of capitalism and the idea of a level playing field for competition. Capitalism would generally support the idea of ISPs being able to prioritize certain types of content, but not necessarily specific sources. This score is not higher because some proponents of capitalism may still prefer a more laissez-faire approach.

Disagree

No, this would allow them to remove competition, create artificial scarcity, and increase prices

While capitalism does support competition, it also supports the idea of businesses being able to charge more for better services. In this case, allowing ISPs to speed up access to popular websites that pay higher rates could be seen as a natural outcome of the market. However, this score is not a -5 because some proponents of capitalism may still be concerned about the potential for anti-competitive behavior.
