How do these Gedmatch Ethiohelix k10 tests work

cuz like, i read that the gedmatch Ethiohelix k10 + french is more efficient for people of mixed african and european ancestry. And so i did that test and i came out with results like these:

58.69% french (aka european, they are using french as a generalization)
20.55% west africa (which is weird since AncestryDNA said 27.5%.)
14.08% north african (which is the biggest surprise since it showed none on Ancestry)
2.85% eastern bantu
1.99% Biaka-Pygmy

^
these results are COMPLETELY different from my ancestryDNA test, can someone explain why i am getting these results? And also, ive been tinkering around more with Gedmatch since 1 test does not win me over, and every single test it showed that i had atleast, Caucasus, southwest asian, west asian, or north african in me, ATLEAST 2% minimum. And if i looked further into Oracle 4, it would show alot of Moroccan Jew and north african jewish of the sort, what does that mean? Because on Ancestry it showed i had 0% jewish XDD so confused here, pls help

(Edit: oh yeah and at the top of using 1 population approximation the top 1 was Egypt, so i think thats also pretty cool. Im thinking of Mizrazi jewish or something at this point now..)

Word to the wise folks. Stop voluntarily giving your DNA away !
All these odd companies suddenly able to tell you where your roots are from ?
You have no idea what is done with the info you give them !!

How much money do those tests costs? Just curious.
PrinceOfSangra · 22-25, M
@Sofi95 i paid 114 euros in total for AncestryDNA including shipping costs to Europe, however once you have your raw data/DNA from your AncestryDNA test you can just use gedmatch freely with your kit number so yeah
