What do you want out of it? There are basically three things people pay/accept the privacy risks for: ethnicity estimates, health/traits, and finding family. In my opinion only the third is really worth it. Ethnicity estimates are a curiosity, are not accurate at the level most of us care about in genealogy - the big exception is African descendants of slaves, who have both higher accuracy due to the genetic diversity of Africa, and fewer other options. But that really puts it closer to family discovery, which is a real use case. Caring who you're related to and how is damn near a cultural universal, and some of us care a lot. Health/traits stuff I see as little better than astrology. Yes, you can find out stuff like if you have blue eyes - but so can a mirror tell me. Odds are you already know yourself far better than the DNA traits testing companies can infer from your DNA.
