Man I'm not going to dive into it but this reads like a FUD piece and I know the article explicitly calls out people who dismiss evidence as FUD, but please read just the first point that 'Tor is compromised':
the agency has worked on several methods that, if successful, would allow the NSA to uncloak anonymous traffic
If succesful, implying that they haven't been. I'd love to read the paper but I'm European and they block me from clicking it, citing GDPR issues
promised to reveal how a $3,000 piece of kit could unmask the IP addresses of Tor hidden services as well as their users.
a much anticipated talk at the Black Hat hacking conference was abruptly canceled.
By the university
the FBI is able to de-anonymize Tor users and discover their real IP address remains classified information. In a 2017 court case, the FBI refused to divulge how it was able to do this,
I can fly. No, I don't have to prove it.

Nice work pulling this. Informative!
The FBI will never reveal if they can or cannot deanonymise someone or Tor

A lot of those correlation attacks seem to imply exiting the network for the standard internet (3 hops), where if you access a hidden service (6 hops), you never actually exit the Tor network to begin with.
I think some of this definitely needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

And did you know that Medbeds exist, and "they" are keeping them from people, because they're actually in league with Satan?

Once again, a VPN can help to mitigate the risk of de-anonymization by hiding your source IP address before accessing the guard node in the Tor circuit.
Lmao he showed a bunch of well known thing about Tor, then start the usual VPN ads.
