While I applaud what this article is trying to do, the reality of it is that unless you're spending a large amount of time and money to remain anonymous, some portion of your information gets leaked online eventually and easily. It is a constant never-ending effort leading to (but not ending with) not having Amazon packages come to your house in your true name, registering your mortgage, utilities, and internet in other name(s) or businesses (which is no simple feat in itself), and risking all that work getting lost because you slipped once and updated your credit card address.
The data removal services/sites may give temporary relief once, but the next time something flags an upload or update again you're right back to where you started. Michael Bazzell [1] has deep knowledge of what it takes and has published books on it, and it gets harder and more disrupting as time goes on, to where unless you're hiding from a known target or stalker it is almost not worth it.
