 Tor is a centralized network. As centralized as VPN. Use i2p for trustless privacy.

 Isnt a VPN a bad analogy? Nobody can see your tor traffic. 
isnt it more like DNS?

how many people are using i2p? what kind of anonset are we talking?

 VPN can be restricted to a terminal, app, virtual machine etc. I used this analogy because normally we dont trust VPN to delete the logs.

 even if they are, theres no central authority capable of logging your Tor traffic.

 Would you still say its righteous to run a tor node to try and help a little or a waste of time?  Just curious

 exit nodes are problematic in many jurisdictions.

you can probably run a relay node anywhere and its definitely not a waste of time ❤️
