Chief on my mind would be the issue of trust. Your traffic is coming out of the VPN node unencrypted. They could snoop you, MITM you, basically anything. So, who do you trust more? Your ISP or a mysterious VPN service probably in Russia that you learned about yesterday?

I figure my ISP is quite likely to sell my data and do other unfriendly things. But I figure they are quite unlikely to attack my traffic and do other illegal things.
