Im not sure I understand your point. You can still work to protect your privacy and it will get better slowly over time IMHO.
There are services out their that help you with the data that is already out there on you.
You think privacy is getting better over time? Honestly? Is there any credible source that is documenting privacy in the US getting better?
We're at a place where browser fingerprinting is what you have to defeat in order to not be tracked online, it goes a lot further than signing up for DeleteMe.
All DeleteMe does is save you the time of manually making takedown requests, which is not that onerous in the first place. I've done plenty of my own. But that doesn't prevent online advertising databases from profiling me or you. And it's been happening for years - this isn't new at all.
