This is one of the worst websites I have had to deal with. First of all, there is very little research material here that is not available free on familysearch. Second, they don't even follow general well-known genealogical procedures. For example, women are listed by their married names. The hints and suggestions are requests for you to join other people's trees with yours including all of the people who may be incorrect. "Helpful" suggestions are things like I have things listed after a death date - like obituaries! Of course, they are after the death date. In the 25 years I have been researching this is the first site I regretted sending money for.

In summary, I would not recommend My Heritage to a friend.
