You have a contract with your ISP not to collect and monetize your DNS queries to their DNS servers? Are you in the US on a mainstream ISP? If so, you surely do not, unlike with the Mozilla TRR program, where you in fact do.

You don’t ? Why would you sign up with such an ISP ? My ISP has a very clear privacy policy, and they obviously have to comply with the GDPR as well.

In America, at least, there are only one or two high speed ISPs in any area: and so, unless you want to use DSL or satellite or something and deal with latency/speed issues, you basically pick whoever is fastest for the best price

The DSL & satellites are also monetizing your DNS traffic in most cases.

s/America/the USA/.

In America there is a vast number of countries with varied service providers, and Internet and data protection laws.

"My ISP has a very clear privacy policy"

I have to wonder: is anyone actually regularly auditing these companies to make sure they abide by their privacy policy?

I see lots of privacy policies all over the internet, but absolutely zero oversight.
