Disagree

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

While the SSP might see some logic in prioritizing traffic by type to ensure quality of service, they would likely be concerned about the potential for abuse and the slippery slope to prioritizing by source, which could undermine the principle of net neutrality.
