Clicking "No thanks" in this instance is not a command to disable buzz it is actually a dismissal of the tutorial page. Buzz will still be enabled either choice you make. There should be an obvious opt out of buzz on the splash screen page. The way to turn it off is a very small textual link in the footer of the page that says turn off buzz.

Obfuscated opt-out is pretty much the definition of 'evil'.

  Hanlon's Razor comes to mind : "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." I doubt the google programmers are stupid but I would say that they probably were excited by the new feature that they are proud of and didn't think that people would want to opt out of it before even trying it.

    So when you have those $19.99 offer pages and small textual link in the footer to cancel or say no, you consider that stupidity and not malice

In fact, you're still technically following people, and they're following you. Not OK."
