“Smell test”?
I guess you can’t always know how genuine someone is really meaning to be, and it’s probably wrong of me to comment without reading the whole article, but just from the expert this seems like a puff piece at best and propaganda more likely. Just like many advertisements try to convince you of something that is almost exactly the opposite of what is true (used car commercials always say they are not high pressure why? Because they usually pressure you), this doesn’t seem to pass the smell test to me. In fact, it makes me even more suspicious.

If Rumba is actually going to make money by selling information as inane and trivial as your house’s floorplan, can you even imagine the power of large-scale genetic data?

That company is founded by the wife of one of the two Google Founders and if you trust anyone associated with that group then you’re crazy Stark raving mad.

how are they able to keep costs so low..?

because their other in income stream is from selling your sequences to drug companies.

Why was this video even made..?

because so many people have worries about that company..!

I’ve been thinking about getting a DNA report but wondered about how the various companies compare as to cost, reputation, findings, etc.

Anyone have any information personally?

I did mine with ancestry as I was looking for my birth parents. Ethnicity results were spot on match to my non identifying info stated. I think people sometimes forget there have been various migrations, wars Etc that can skew the expected results. Factor in unknown adoptions, affairs, it’s totally possible to get unexpected results.
BTW, my search angel found birth father in a week, verified birth mother.
