It should also be mentioned that VPNs, even if correctly used (e.g. no dns/IPv6/webrtc leaks), this simply shifts to trust to another provider. Now, your ISP is not able to see your traffic but your VPN provider is potentially able to (even if you self host it on aws or digital ocean because they still have full access to the box), and their ISP. If you trust them more, use them, but I you don't, I see little reason to utilize a VPN unless you want to unblock geo-blocked services. The only advantage is that your VPN provider (or their ISP) might have little reason to spy on your traffic instead of your regular VPN.
