Is a VPN necessary for torrenting? - Divisions by zero

I don’t live in the US, so my ISP doesn’t really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren’t cheap and I’m on a strict budget (wouldn’t pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?

Just an FYI: for the cost of a VPN, you can buy a Usenet subscription. Depending on your content, you'll get far better speeds, far more privacy, far more content, and far more availability.

If you're open to paying a few bucks, look into Real-Debrid.

Real-debrid is amazing for its cost. (3 euros/month)
