    It's a dishonest marketing tactic.

    It's all over social media too. Just recently, Facebook. I saw it originally last year at another forum I once frequented.
    Love it how they're so specific about these people's ancestry.
    Nine out of ten concerns are completely unfounded.

    As if their test is even remotely that accurate. And if I'm not mistaken, isn't the actual product accompanied by a fair few disclaimers and caveats?

    This was bad on so many levels, I felt very uncomfortable watching it.

    I felt my ADNA results were a waste of money. If I had known they were so basic, I'd have not wasted the money.

    It's just another all inclusive, feel good piece of media. So many will take it seriously.

    That is so true. So many people on YouTube reading their results with complete credulity, despite a genealogy (or even an ethnic background) that say otherwise. It's amazing.

    Were they all (not very good) actors and actresses? It all seemed rather hammy/staged to me.
