Note that a supplemental option is to also delete your YouTube account.

I was worried I'd accidentally nuke my gmail account, but turns out you can delete your YouTube account + history without affecting any of your other Google services (I did it last night).

Youtube has some quality content that is not available elsewhere. For example it would be illogical to shred your library card just because you don't like the books that the librarian shows you.

I'm not suggesting nullrouting the site (if you don't need to), I'm suggesting deactivating your account so you're never shown the all-too-enticing personalized recommendations.

You can always watch specific videos without being logged in.
