Encryption does not solve this problem at all. They aren't selling the CONTENTS of your traffic, they are selling the DESTINATIONS.

Isn't some destination information encrypted under HTTPS?

The only thing that might leak is the final public IP address.

Only the path portion.... the dns name is passed unencrypted
