I have watch history turned off for long as it's possible. When they started showing me the blank page with "Turn this feature on" I was pleasently surprised because I prefer this to the stupid preview pictures with people making happy/sad faces, forming a heart with their hand or some other bullshit they can come up with. God I really really hate that stuff.

Yea, I really appreciate the bare YouTube home screen that they present when you have Watch History turned off. It's clean and basic, reminiscent of the main Google search page before they stuffed it with animation, popups, dickbars and the usual cruft.

The passive aggressive "Your watch history is off" warning that you can't dismiss is the really the only thing bad about it.
