Soooooo TOR's not safe any more ?

So I have been reading about tor a lot these day's as I have been wanting to get some things from the dark net markets. So I thought I would ask what do you all think about Tor and is it save any more. Do you think of Freenet or i2p is better ? . . . . Saver ? Or is Tor save as long as you use TAILS and PGP. I have been reading about Freenet and it looks cool would it be a good idea to run it thought TAILS.

This video is one of the biggest reasons I am asking this.

Nothing is 'safe'.

That is a bad video and is full of misleading info about Tor.

If you are using Tor to get to a hidden onion site (like a darknet market), you don't use an "exit" node, because you never exit the Tor network. All data sent between you and the hidden site is encrypted end to end and is not exposed as clear text to any node in the circuit.

The main danger is to hidden site operators. There are ways of tracking down a hidden site, especially if you are not careful in setting it up. This is one of the reasons to use PGP when using a darknet market. If the hidden site is seized (like Silk Road 1.0) then the PGP encrypted messages that are on the server are unreadable by the authorities.
