I don’t really have anything to back this up except a nagging feeling that all the marketing, hype, and buzzwords simply aren’t true.
Local ISPs have legal restrictions from the federal down to the local level in terms of how they handle your data. You give them a huge monthly bill. You are their customer. AFAIK VPNs operate without any legal requirements. They can say whatever they want. I flat out don’t believe their marketing about privacy, logging, or otherwise. They can pay youtubers to say whatever they want.
In fact I’d go so far as to say someone is pushing for everyone to get a VPN. By all means access your everything through an unregulated server run by an unknown entity that can do whatever it wants.
They don't even protect you now. Your ISP keeps full logs of your router's traffic. Government can work around them and also getting the VPN's logs on you. Your device is often also keeping another record of activity downloads cookies scripts. This can be accessed by your OS, your security software, and browsers.
They are such a cunt, on the other cunts wanting your location. Like ordering from Amazon, Uber, even Twitter tracks where you are, if you are logging from a phone, they do anyway when you need a registered phone. Also the really evil fucks like your playstation or Xbox. Email. Sooner the majority of sites like bank and even doctors. But the VPN fucks them up. No longer do they take your I.D, it is you logging in. A VPN has changed your virtual location. Now all these other places tracking you panic and start sending codes. Making your VPN redundant. Sure they might not know where you are browsing. They know where you are even though your location has changed.
The main thing is VPNs can get around certain domain restrictions. You can be virtually where ever, easier access to other sites away from your domain. They stop any sites visited keeping a record of you. All these fucko sites please allow cookies because we value your privacy, no you fucking don't.
