Where are the popular personalities telling people to not use VPNs? I swear sometimes I theorize about gov agencies using people to spread insecurities like that.

VPN providers that are run by reputable people/orgs and make security promises are liable to lawsuits and criminal prosecution if they sniff your traffic or sell info about you, unlike ISPs complying with gov requests/partnerships and who want another revenue stream by selling your info to the highest bidder with no specific privacy guarantees.
