I understand the issue of making my traffic public to service provider, there are other issues I had to consider: Using Tor - you make your traffic public to SOMEONE, activists, hackers, maybe governments. No one knows. Running own VPN - you still expose traffic somewhere and you can still be easily tracked and monitored. Here comes another problem - I can administrate simple servers, I do it as a hobby... but I'm not sysadmin, and I would make mistakes and expose everything my start and endpoint traffic that can be 100% correlated. Not using VPN or Tor at all = exposing myself to local government/council, neighbours and GCQH.
