Removing your data from brokers takes 40-80 hours manually, or $6.50/month via services

Part of a thread on removing personal data from data brokers:
- Manual opt-out across every broker takes 40-80 hours.
- Brokers re-collect your data every 30-90 days, so this is not one-and-done — you need to repeat the process regularly (e.g., quarterly reminders).
- If you lack the time, services like Incogni ($6.50/mo) or DeleteMe can scan, submit removal requests, and re-check on repeat.
