@raymaccarthy@mastodon.ie @protonprivacy@mastodon.social I evaluate these kinds of things by looking at who has a healthier business model. For ISPs, they have a bigger incentive to serve the interests of advertisers and anyone who wants access to your data, because if you're like me, you don't have many options for ISPs, they have a mono/duopoly. A paid VPN however is highly incentivized to serve their customers, because if they don't, it's very easy to drop them in favor of a competitor.
