There is no "net neutrality" now.
There's some net-neutrality now. California passed their own net neutrality law and, as a rather large market, what they want can often dictate standards to the rest of the country. Further, some of the steps the FCC took to remove net-neutrality are still under litigation and haven't taken effect yet.
While whether the effects are a big deal or not is a matter of opinion, who benefits really isn't. Removing net-neutrality benefits those with the deepest pockets capable of paying the premium for access to the "fast lane". Removing net-neutrality harms the "little guy" or the non-mainstream as they can't afford to keep up with the established corporations. Keeping net-neutrality helps alternative views and newer startups.
But whether it's a big enough deal to worry about is a matter of opinion.

Please name a "little guy" and how net non-neutrality has hurt him/her.
