Using a VPN shifts your risk. Your local ISP can't see as much of your activity, but another company that probably has a business model of reselling your data to governments, intelligence agencies, and ad companies now can. If your concern is masking piracy, maybe that shift of risk is worthwhile, but you still want to avoid some of the more obvious bad actors[0]. You certainly should not have all your internet traffic going over a VPN all the time. If you're at all worried about being targeted for political speech or you're part of a targeted group, then you need to be more careful. This map is a bit outdated, but it does give some insight on who to avoid [1]. Ironically, Mullvad is one of the more trustworthy VPNs out there and still the one I'd recommend.
