Yes, for several reasons.
If you have an interest in ancestry and family trees in can be useful. I've connected with a couple relatives I didn't know I had because of it. Trying to build out a family tree was a fun exercise for me and from a cost-time ratio I've gotten more out of it than I did movie pass.
Several people here seem to have been earlier adopters when they had more health related information that the FDA made them pull. They've been re-introducing some of them but for now 23andme is still a cheap way to get a useful sampling of your dna that you can run through services like https://promethease.com/ https://promethease.com/.
If you get lucky (or unlucky depending on your perspective) it can make a difference in your life. It showed me that I had a slight increased risk of Celiac Disease so I had my allergy-immunologist do a blood test which came back positive. Endoscopy w/ biopsy also confirmed. I didn't have a lot of the stereotypical GI symptoms but after going Gluten free I can tell that I had other issues because of it. I doubt I would have been diagnosed correctly without my health report from them.
My wife also got a lot of value from hers. On the other hand our two adult sons got a couple mins entertainment from it and moved on.
