You make it sound like they're just obtaining a list of URLs, but that's not it. For $20, they get to impersonate you while you're in the VPN and after you leave (they have all your passwords and session cookies). They can also impersonate anyone you deal with. They have all decrypted information going between you and the rest of the internet. Not even your ISP gets that amount.
Even further problematic is the scale at which they can do this. This isn't just a concern we should see as individuals but also as a group. They can control a grand portion of information flow and authentication in the whole web.
