Is DeleteMe.org real? Looks too good to not be a data stealing scam.

Reject Convenience did a pretty good breakdown of DeleteMe, Incogni and the data broker industry on their YouTube channel a while back. It’s a good overview but, fair warning, it might send you down a bit of a rabbit hole after watching.

Can you put a tl;dw here? Are they scams?
Seriously. It's criminal to not include a summary in a case like that.
Reject Convience does privacy policy reading streams, and has a pretty hard stance on no TLDRs. If you don't have time to watch it, save it for later. Better that than to trust a random person's 5 word TLDR.
A tldr isn't sufficient to determine if something's a scam or not. It'd be negligent/sketchy to include one.
There’s already some really good replies, but think critically for a second about what you’re asking for:
You want a summary of content made by “reject convenience” about the data broker and removal request industry, shouted into the void on social media, specifically on the insanely easy to infiltrate and subvert fediverse.
Real black comedy posting hours who’s up?

Reject Convenience makes some really great videos, but holy fuck are they a depressing watch.
