Yea there are lots of articles and blog posts trying to sell VPN subscriptions with referral links. It's also wierd to see VPN companys sponsor random youtube video's.
About using Tor through a VPN, it is not problematic, but it's a possible waste of time/speed/money.
And about using a standalone VPN, even then, in many cases, i whould argue against using a VPN. Because it's just shifting trust from your isp to a vpn. And when using a vpn, you stand out, to the vpns (honeypots) and to your ISP. And the VPN can collect data, like DNS data.
