I'm pretty sure that's a complete fantasy, and that every ISP on the planet makes sure they get a tidy profit from the contract fees that lock in customers, with zero advertising income. Money from stealing user browser data is just gravy. Not that I'm opposed to gravy, but not when I, as a customer, don't get any.
I'm mostly being speculatively facetious.
All I can say for sure is they do that NXDOMAIN thing unless you opt
out, good for 1 year only, so remember to renew your opt out annually.
But I just don't use their resolvers.
