If you want anonymity no, if you don’t then yes.
If you want anonymity and the advantages of a VPS VPN at the same time you should look for a provider which accept crypto payments, and optionally setup tor, i2p and freenet nodes to obfuscate your traffic.
That way you will be helping the community and at the same time securing yourself.
