      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.

          It’s been a while, but I believe it’s buried in the account settings on the website. I don’t think the app had the option.

      Probably not, this is a dispute about profitability.

      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?
