They don't. VPN providers managed to get a widespread reputation for great security. It's all bullshit. Yes, they shield your traffic from your internet provider but, instead, you send all your traffic through one entity that you have no control over, possibly registered in a different country where you have zero legal reach. Whereas your local internet provider is bound by so many laws that also protect you. (This in turn means that VPN is a godsend in autocratic countries!).

I am starting to close YouTube videos with a VPN sponsor section and letting the tubers know what bullshit they are advertising.

I'm Italian and most big Italian YouTubers are on the payroll of Nord VPN. It's absurd how widespread they became, persuading people into thinking that it's almost like a fundamental thing to have on your computer for security reasons
