You are completely correct about the nodes being run for all sorts of nefarious reasons. Although, there are a small number of nodes rub by enthusiastic individuals but it's rare.

Reddit has tons of actors spreading disinfo especially about VPN's never trust the info from there without serious vetting.

No, many tor nodes are run for good purposes. in fact, many of the largest networks are non-profits dedicated to running the nodes.
