It might be of interest that apparently other sites are seeing deletions as well, even if just a droplet.

Over last two days....
I have received 23 new matches at Ancestry, but my total has only gone up by 8.? Seems like 15 people may have deleted a kit.?
I have received 7 new matches at MyHeritage, but my total has only gone up 3
For Family Finder, I had a new match yesterday, but my total went down by 1.? ??
?
As for 23andMe, I lost 125 over first 2 days.? Then 40.? Yesterday 14.? 2 so far today.? About 6% overall
?
I did not think to track Y matches.? ?My mtDNA has not changed in ages, including the last two days.?
