tl;dr data broker removal services work, on a very limited set of data brokers (not the big ones, not the most impactful ones, not the ones that intentionally don't keep your name but keep everything else about you), for about 6 months at a time. they're truly useless. if you live in california that state has its own opt-out service that's much more effective and also free: https://privacy.ca.gov/drop/
