The latest massive youtube sponsor seems to be data broker removal services. As a rule of thumb is if I see the same sponsor more than 3 times it’s just a scam.

But as I’ve recently become assaulted with scam calls due to trying to find a different job the prospect of services like these seem to be more and more enticing.

What do you all think? Is actually a service?

    I started using the same one after this weirdo started trying (and failing) to doxx me for like 3 months. A bit pricy but they definitely work. Tried looking myself up a couple months in and I couldn’t find shit.

    It definitely feels a bit uncomfortable giving them all the information they need to do the job though I’ll admit. It makes sense, but I can definitely see why people would question if they’re legit. I think I researched for hours before going with it just to make sure it was real.

    Though spam calls have definitely been a nuisance again this past month or so.

      I trusted in it, because I saw the whole sniperwold jacksfilms thing play out with her almost doxxing him, and he specifically advocated for deleteme and talked about how they removed all his personal info from those sites, and sure enough, where I previously found his home address it was gone. I had heard praises for years about deleteme even back in the earlier internet days so that just sealed the deal for me. I used his coupon code to sign up lol.
