Ok ... Nintendo has not announced any dedicated servers that come with the subscription service. As far as we know, the difference between the quality between Switch multiplayer before the subscription update and after will be nothing. You're paying for peer to peer, not Nintendo's own servers.

The Wii U's multiplayer was not even that bad. Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 played very well. Smash was a fuckup but fighting games are known for having complications with Net code.

It seems to me like you are just purposefully being ignorant to try and have a blissful result. We could receive more information and that information might make the service sound a lot better. But a lot of what you are saying has no correlation with what facts we have currently.

The nerve to go as far as asking for the amount to increase? I'd expect a writer to be more educated at the very least, but to be so anti-consumer is crazy. 

Can one be intentionally ignorant?

I wasn't comparing it to Wii U, but Wii, to which switches online is far better. It also, in my opinion based on Mario Aces and Mario Kart, seems more stable than Wii U games by comparison.

Also, Nintendo announced a long time ago we would temporarily get free internet until some other things launched, so we never should have gotten used to this being free, but rather viewed it as a free trial ( a long one).

The petition I jokingly suggested was more or less just that; a joke. That being said, if more money meant better features, I'd totally be willing to pay more.

Also, no need to throw insults. I'm not going to do the same to you. Have a pleasant day.

What do you mean intentionally ignorant? It literally does not matter in the slightest if you were comparing it to the Wii or the Wii U (I didn't say you compared it the U), because the Wii U did exist and it did have pretty decent online. It doesn't make me ignorant to compare it the U, on the contrary, it makes you ignorant to create a fallacy like "but but but the Wii!" as if there wasn't already a system with free online that was better (well ... besides you know ... a PC).  

I have played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online. It is not much better at all. And Splatoon 2's online even has a lot of the same problems as 1 (Lobby constantly getting kicked out, game freezing and ending, etc). It even has a worse tick rate than Splatoon had (only 16hz), 30% slower. 

I never said that I thought it was always free? Don't know where you got that. 

I didn't throw insults. Haha. You need to rethink what you consider an insult than, because you said "I'm not going to do the same to you", but then called me intentionally ignorant. So either we both "threw insults" (honestly silly) or we both didn't.
