Alright, what’s the deal with every YouTuber doing ad reads for data deletion services? Seemingly everyone got a deal with either #DeleteMe or Aura. I find the idea of such services good, but I’ve never used one nor even investigated them. The amount of creators they sponsor makes them seem *very* suspicious; it’s like VPN and Raycon and Raid Shadow Legends all over again 🤨 Does anyone know what’s up with that?

The ads are so present that I’ve noticed them despite using SponsorBlock on all my devices 😂

@kytta ha! My trust for a service or product is inversely proportional to how much I hear about it from YouTubers.

How do they work, anyway? Can I just delete someone I don’t like?

@gadgetoid easy! To remove your personal info from services, you have to submit your personal info to a service!

Wait…

@kytta is this installing plugins to Wordpress to fix Wordpress security all over again? 🤣

Surely there’s a vanishingly small pool of people who’d be interested in deletion services,too. I guess they pop up, advertise hard, try to get acquired before they fall off the end of their cash runway?
