Can anybody please share your thoughts on what would indicate “getting your money’s worth” or “good value” would be for something like this? Are some much more exposed than others where it makes sense to pay for it? Is it because they continue to remove data whereas for the average person that would be unduly arduous?
They advertise removing data from somewhere around 190 sites. What are the repercussions of missing sites like they claim competitors do? What’s the end result if even the monitor plus service misses some?
How do I know if over time the service goes through “enshitification”?
This interests me, but I lack the savvy to know how it improves my life or if I’ll ever notice a difference. I’d like to know what are reasonable expectations for it.
