Tor is fine for hiding your real IP address for simple sites doing simple stuff, here and elsewhere. Switch to a New Identity often enough. Cycle VPNs.
The problem is, a VPN is only as safe as the owner/operator. How do you know who to trust?
For this very reason, (((China))) and jews own many VPN services. Many actually are honeypots. We know this from leaks and "hacks" on places who are not supposed to have logs.
Anyone have a list of services you trust, on what basis they are trusted, and who owns and funds them?
As you point out, it depends on the who you're hiding from and what you're doing.
Declaring you must get a VPN while providing no assistance or guidance or clarification on whom you are defending against isn't helpful, if not straight up injurious.
What part of "Cycle VPNs" does it say "I declare you get a VPN"?
If you got a link to what you say, just post that instead.
Tor and VPN switchy moots trust, especially if only free stuff is used, because, done often enough, it breaks a "profile" to be made.
Tor and VPN are definitely only Network Layer obfuscations. As the OP says, do not do mainstream identity logins while doing forum/chan stuff.

Jew OP said:
Get a VPN.
I don't have a link. That's why I solicited the important parts for further discussion.
Btw, remaining anonymous requires much more than simply changing vpns. For example, browser fingerprinting is a thing.
