They are some valid points in the post, but ISPs collect and will market your data, including browsing data. They recently changed positions and claim they won’t anymore, but there’s no reason to trust them and they’re still using your data for targeted ads meaning they still retain the data.

The point of the post isn't that you should trust your ISP.

Indeed. Instead it falsely implies that you don’t need to, by glossing over the limits of what HTTPS encrypts and what it doesn’t. And it encourages users to avoid VPNs, making them subject to data collection by their ISP whether they know it or not.
