Why would you disable history?

Without history Youtube doesn't know what you like and therefore can't suggest videos to watch on the homepage.
What's the benefit? You have to look at the homepage anyway, right?
I get value from not having to look at content I find annoying and uninteresting, or at least avoid the negative value of having that stuff on the screen.
