    I trust my ISP more than a random VPN provider. I use HTTPS for everything anyways.

      Ssl will hide the contents but not the metadata. It’s easy enough to build a profile on you just by understanding what sites you visit.

        Correct. But a VPN provider can also build a profile on that metadata, and transparency is often lacking in the VPN business. I live in a country with fairly good privacy laws for now and much prefer my ISP to have my metadata than someone else.
