Has anyone used deleteme or a similar service? What was your experience, and do you feel it was worth it?

It feels like such a cat and mouse game, that should be easy to automate, that said, I'm not sure it'll be effective.

I have used Incogni for a few years now, I was a little worried after the first year things wouldn't be worth the price, but I'm noticing that there are data brokers who will happily remove you but not put you on a block-list, meaning that they will happily ingest your information again if it comes to them, and another request from Incogni will be needed to remove it again.

I'm on the fence about whether that's real value delivered from Incogni, but I do think overall it's working to limit some of the spread of my data.

		> but not put you on a block-list, meaning that they will happily ingest your information again if it comes to them So since you don't know if they information or not, you should start sending them delete request every second? You know, just in case they got new data since the last request and we know it takes a while to actually process those requests.

I have (optery, not deleteme) and I think it's good to use at least once to clear out a buildup of your info out there. I couldn't justify paying for it monthly but if I was a semi-important person it might be worth it, or at least 1 or 2 months out of the year. Many brokers aren't responsive and it takes forever or never actually happens, and stuff definitely creeps back, but from what I can tell there is a heck of a lot less of me out there.
