Aren't they seeing all the urls you access?
No, unless you browse http website. They'll only see the domain name in the request SNI or during the DNS request.
...and if you use DoH, they won't even see DNS.
I would argue that you don't need a VPN. It's just another entity that can see your traffic, and there's no reason to trust them over your ISP. They're all for-profit companies.

Yeah you're right man the VPN that got raided and proven to keep no logs is the exact same as ATT that helped the NSA spy on everyone in the USA and has your credit card and address on file.

Sure something like NordVPN wouldn't be trustworthy but come on, saying all VPNs are just as trustworthy as ISPs is absolutely insane
