The logic to it is crazy too. People think VPNs make them anonymous (they don’t), but they also think multi-hop makes them MORE anonymous.
Whether multi-hop matters to tracking is far and away a different discussion than whether multi-hop “makes you anonymous”.
I too disagree with the original comment, but also believe the pendulum swung too far the other direction in your replies.
Situations differ. Threat models differ. More hops can, from direct personal experience, make the difference in tracking. Your claim of “…multi-hop is pointless for tracking.” has too broad of a scope to be correct.

What specifically about multi-hop makes you think it improves your security? Be specific. What is your “direct personal experience”?
