I don't like not paying for services. I don't want to be the product anymore.

This is very different. DNS is cheap so they can serve a lot of people. These kinda projects are just passionate and enjoy offering it. Your only a product in the sense that you may count as a statistic but thats it. The real value for the operator and yourself is that the DNS queries upstream from their server cant be traced back to one individual.
If you are going paid "private" DNS you have a full trail back to you. Thats not gonna be very private.
The last part is incorrect.
DNSCypt supports anonymized queries which work like a 1 layer onion router. You can have many upstream DNSCypt servers and they can have you as upstream, and there's no linkage between the two
