there are essentially two reasons why vpns may fail to provide the anonymity you hope you're paying for
(both of which are indicated in this and other videos on the topic).
1. the vpn company is untrustworthy.
the better vpn companies have active communities that test and report on the performance and security of their services and - as the video also points out - trust is created where the company is positively responsive to these communities. do your research etc.
2. your activity behind a vpn allows 'big data' consortia to aggregate and correlate key data points to identify you.
don't use your vpn for day-to-day stuff - just that one site you never connect to off the vpn.
claiming that vpns are pointless - that if you use one you're an idiot - is just as damaging and ignorant as the claim that a vpn will protect you from hackers.
i didn't like this video, personally. i felt its messaging was suspiciously heavy-handed, even if most of its points were sound.

You said 'nope' to me, then went on to make 2 points that don't attempt to contradict what I said,
while saying you don't like the tone of the video, even while supporting the factual claims it makes.

I kept waiting for an advert to come up, possibly a certain Norwegian VPN.
