1. You believe you can somehow route your internet traffic such that it can't be traced using a paid-for service.
I contest that you can't because the internet Hardware is owned and controlled by the powers that be. There is no escape from it. Any form of internet use is at some point using their hardware.
2. You believe that your traffic/data is encrypted such that no-one could de-crypt it.
I contest that this is naïve. If there exists an encryption algorithm then there exists a decryption algorithm. Someone, somewhere has the decryption keys for all such VPN services. That being the case the whole argument boils down to whether you personally think they would use that decryption key to spy on people's traffic. For me, it's a no-brainer that they DO spy on all internet traffic and have huge banks of racked servers interpreting it all and archiving it all to massive data farms.
This is the nuts of the whole issue. Any techno jiggery pokery in the middle is of no relevance TBH.

I could never understand why people are so surprised when a sensitive e-mail or mobile phone conversation/text has been intercepted and repeated either in the media or by some unscrupulous hacker.Members of parliament, Presidents, the Royal Family and celebrities, have all been victims of leaked personal material.
How stupid can you be to think that anything that is transmitted can not be intercepted by someone.
So why on earth would you e-mail or text something that you wouldn't want the whole world to see.
