I admit I haven't done it, but if I were to use a VPN I would rent a virtual server with cheap bandwidth and run the VPN software on it myself. An interested government snoop could track down my data, but they would have to target me personally to do that.

What about the case when your VPS provider snoops on you? (Again this doesn't address the first-party isolation side and even the fingerprinting one)

There's nothing I can do if the VPS provider snoops. I just figure it's less likely than a VPN or my local ISP snooping.

I wouldn't try to organize a revolution or host a video piracy site that way. Just have fewer parties tracking how often I buy hemorrhoid cream.
