Lol, you get real advice from an expert and people give so many down votes.
Although I agree with you that the author knows what he is talking about, be careful about using ad verecundiam fallacies :')

Isn’t that the thing they’re actually useful for?
Yes, thats why I use FnordVPN, if you sign up now with my coupon code you can save 5% for a 25-year plan!
Checkout dVPN’s (distributed VPN’s).
That’s true, but dvpn is still in trouble. take mysterium, for example, there is no easy way to top-up your balance, and, since, people host relays by using free bandwidth, speed and quality varies a lot from relay to relay.
I personally self-host OpenVPN on a Rasberry Pi 4, but Tor is really the best. I feel like a VPN can only really protect your privacy when it is 100% under your control.
I do too, but it’s on my home network, so wouldn’t my ISP still know what sites I’m going to?
The problem with tor is that it is very slow. currently isp’s offer 1Gb/s connections. what is the point of this speed when tor limits it to ~1-5Mbps.
