I had a bit worse experience. I was a bit careless with posting personal info under a quite specific username I reused on multiple websites, it took me nearly 10 years and changing that username (you might also note that my usernames are more or less random) to finally not be able to google myself (which I consider to be the real test of anonymity). Various forums finally dying in 2010s were a great help.
