Some ISPs actually sell DNS responses to the highest-bidding advertiser. ISP DNS is the worst possible choice for all users.

Not all users. ISPs around my part of the world do not behave as badly as US ISPs seem to. Most (although I actually believe it is all) ISPs in my home country do not do anything special to DNS lookups. This means there is literally no benefit to using an off-shore DNS resolver such as those provided by Google, Cloudflare, et al. It just makes DNS lookups slower for us.

They still know where you go ... where do you think your traffic go through?
