Here's what I wrote (note it will not keep line breaks):
> The FCC should KEEP net neutrality rules. ISPs are fundamentally different from internet website providers like Google and Facebook. A consumer can choose not to use Google, but there is no way to opt out of using an ISP or allowing the ISP to see your private internet history. ISPs serve the same purpose as roadways, water pipes, and electricity wires. We do not want roads spying on where we drive or the electric company spying on which appliances we use at which times. We must also prevent ISPs from discriminating and charging different amounts to access different websites or throttling the speed of competitors' websites. We do not want roads charging different amounts for different makes of cars or electric companies charging different amounts to use one brand of dishwasher versus another brand. Net neutrality is good for human rights, privacy, consumers, and competition. Please DO NOT REPEAL net neutrality.

(1) a product hunt page with a John Oliver video but no above-the-fold link to the FCC or to http://gofccyourself.com.
(2) the confusing FCC "proceedings" page https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/proceedings?q=name:((17-108)) where it is not obvious how to comment
(3) this Hacker News thread (starting at grandparent post), labeled in google as "Clickable link : http://gofccyourself.com | Hacker News".
So a random internet user looking for a place to comment and knowing the term "gofccyourself" easily ends up here, at a page with the "Hacker News" banner, a one sentence "Clickable Link : http://gofccyourself.com ", and then a comment box. Below is the comment thread following full of new users' comments about net neutrality. Some visitors assume this IS the FCC comment site.
So when you go through the funnels of : type "gofccyourself" into address bar or search box --> get to third search result --> misunderstand this thread as the FCC public comment venue --> bother to register and comment, then you get the steady stream of comments here from newly registered accounts.
I can't delete my comment anymore, so I can't do anything to stop the comments.
The FCC should KEEP net neutrality rules use the most restive set of rules [tilde two] on the isp the easiest for the FCC to enforce, to protect the people not isp.
prevent ISPs from discriminating and charging different amounts to access different websites or throttling the volume I get of competitors' websites.
THE FCC should encouraged COOPs to be established for compensation
Free and unbridled and equal access for all
