Why nobody here Is talking about 23andme and it's future?

[Laredo]

I find It very strange since most of you have been tested with 23andme, also as someone who was considering buying a kit now I think about It. Since the company Is falling down due huge amount of lawsuits and hackers stole millions of RAW data's specially Ashkenazi Jews being their primary target.

I personally wouldn't like my raw data being all over the Internet but oh well...


Here are some Important news article's

I also suspect 23andme would start selling In countries where Is not available due keep the profits going by selling their service In new markets.

Yeah they sure are, try Ancestry DNA also one thing I noticed after all this came out to the public Ancestry started 2 or 3 security filters when you try to log In, at first I thought was ridiculous but knowing later all this makes total sense!!

I have Ancestry too (have membership) but this latest community update is just a mess and everything they offer behind paywall community regarded is like some black comedy.
Regarding matches they are pretty good too.

23andme has 5000 matches limit, which is far less than Ancestry.
However im below 5000 matches on both so its OK.

Do you have proof that Ashkenazi were deliberately targeted? An example of such proof would be the number of Ashkenazi who had their raw data stolen, compared to others. An example of something that would not be proof would be the number of "DNA Relatives" profile scraped, because that would influenced by endogamy.

[Rædwald]

Shares are like 0.71 American, if you have faith in the future of the company it would be a good time to buy a few.

A solid proof of that I don't have that, just visit and read what has been discussed In reddit.

I find It odd people are being clueless of that company they are spending their money. 23andme it's at big risk right now and could dissappear from day to night.

Also seems nobody here bother to share anything as If didn't matter when actually does.

If they're in trouble I'm glad, I don't like them. The Wojicki clan can eat shit.

All dna ancestry companies are in irreversible decline. The people who want to be tested mostly have been.

It wasn't an actual hack, and they don't have people's genetic data. They have profile information.

[calxpal]

Honestly yeah I've heard a lot about this stuff and it worries me too, especially since I've found 23andme's results and tools the best (for myself at least) out of all the DNA platforms I've tried, although MyHeritage and FTDNA have improved a lot too over the years. I know some people are mad at 23andme currently though. I am hoping they pull through though because I've learned a lot from them and from their website and features which I've found to be very good (although It's a shame some are disabled due to the security incident). Also especially because Ancestry seems to be going into a major downward spiral with their recent trash updates and mass paywalling of seemingly whatever they can.

Although Ancestry does have more DNA matches yes, however after their recent paywall they are basically useless and I find their website is always crashing and slow.

I know some people on here have different feelings about these DNA companies though and I respect different opinions.

[Mr.G]

They (hackers) didn't steal anyone's raw data (autosomal data file). They couldn't access that, it's not on the website. You need to request it, it is sent to your email. They got other stuff, but not that.

But yeah, it's not looking good for the company's future.

Amazon was the only company I felt had all the signs of being big one day when it was roughly $1.

A year or so ago when Amazon was like $83 I said in the chatbox to buy: it's currently $171.

I know this. I'm glad that I didn't invest in segues when they were hyped to the moon just like the Ford Edsel and New Coke.

They ride E scooters in some cities. The segues caught on about as much as flying cars from "The Jetsons", but robot maids might be a thing one day....mostly in Japan.

I feel like riding a segue would always look like an invitation to be beaten up, wherever you were. And adults who ride scooters deserve to be.

They cause a lot of accidents. Some streamers film them as they happen, which should come in handy for the plaintiffs.
