Overkill for me. But now noted.

When you use a VPN your service provider still knows you are connecting to it correct? When using a VPN does the VPN then allow another user to acces and mask under your IP? Does the VPN keep logs? (Of course they do). Do they purge the logs? You pay for VPN correct? In which case there is a record paying for VPN access, also they have record of your payment method.
Im all for confidentiality but do we really believe a VPN offers security/privacy?

I’m interested if so.

For your first question: no. Your connection is tunneled through the (VPN) service provider and opaque to your ISP (apologies if I've misunderstood what you were asking here).

Not sure what you mean about "masking under your IP" - do you mean could two customers of the same VPN company share the IP address from the perspective of any website that they visit via the service? I'm not sure about this, but I would imagine so, since providing a unique address (at least a unique IPv4 address) to each incoming connection would likely be impractical given the scarcity of these addresses (under the IPv4 scheme only ~4 billion addresses exist). More likely the VPN acts as a gateway (in the computer networking sense).

I ride it raw. Anything digital is up for grabs. Let the dominos fall where they may.

Fuck fear. They know who we are. I think trying to hide only draws more attention. Hey if it makes you feel better.....but I don't care myself.
