Perhaps it depends on the definition of privacy. Now your identity is tied to any and all traffic to/from that IP address for the duration of ownership.

The specific issue is the VPN provider harvesting data about your traffic and selling it.

I'm suggesting it's vastly greater effort to identify individuals in a VPN service than a VPS provider (shared vs dedicated tenancy).

If you're talking about bulk collection, then your ISP is probably already doing that.
