23andMe Is Monetizing Your DNA the Way Facebook Monetizes 'Likes'
It&#x27;s fairly obvious by now that 23andme is just a collector of data, not a source of useful research or actual results.<p>The best bit: you pay to give them your data.<p>In that sense Google and Facebook are more fair, they give a free service and you pay with your data.<p>For their customers (the ones who give them samples) 23andme is expensive infotainment, which will worse case lead to a whole pile of un-necessary tests done by a generation of empowered hypochondriacs.
