Am I about to be relieved I never tried one of these?

I unfortunately did. However, I at least requested my data destroyed. Whether that means fuck all is to be seen.

That's why I did it. I was looking into health tendencies since I don't know any health history from my mom's side.

Tbh I was trusting my doctor. I had never really heard of 23andme except from his reccomendation. I thought it was a reliable source. Egg on my face. You live and you learn.

That juicy bit about YouTube. Is that why it's so horrid?

And further from that, maybe if Youtube's Chief Enshittification Officer is against it then taking 23andme private might actually be the best thing to do?
