Sounds cool but I'm not sure I want to spend 100 bucks per year to spite the data brokers...idk I do like spite though.
They do have a free tier, and while it doesn't auto request your data removal they can at least notify you which data brokers have your info so you can make the requests manually yourself. https://monitor.mozilla.org/
Edit: The data removal features are currently available only in the US according to their FAQ:

I did what you were too busy to do. I clicked the link.
It's about data brokers. It says so repeatedly on the page you didn't visit.
I did click too and I see no mention of data brokers, only data breaches. Could this be location targeted? I also tried from the blog post and got no way to pay for the service. I'm in Canada btw.
Says so for me as well
It says breaches for me as well. Datenleck=data leak
Mozilla Monitor used to be just for monitoring breaches but they have recently added in the ability for you to monitor your own personal information that databrokers have on you.
Edit: According to their FAQ it looks like this has geographic restraints, I'll update my original comment.
