Is a data removal service worth it?
Honest answer: it depends on how much your time is worth.
Doing it yourself
Each site has its own form, some need email confirmation, and most re-list you within months. Expect hours up front and a recurring check.
Paying for it
Services file and repeat the requests for you. Prices run from about $40 to $130 a year per person.
What it will not do
No service can stop every robocall; some dial random numbers. Removal cuts the targeted ones.
