Yes, I get that now my VPN provider can build that data profile, but I am certain that my ISP is a vile monopoly that has corrupted the regulators that are supposed to represent me.

I have Sonic, so I trust my ISP more than a random VPN provider. Even if you have AT&T, they have a legal team that makes they provide a lot of opt-outs. I don't trust that they work, but there are a lot more eyes on them than a VPN provider.
