I feel like I'm missing something. "I turned off view history, and now the app isn't keeping any history of the views for me" seems like an odd complaint. But the actual way to stop Google from using your view for ad targeting is just turn off personalized ads. Or - in the unlikely case you object only to use of YouTube history but not other data - there appears to be a separate control just for that: https://myadcenter.google.com/u/1/controls/ads-data/youtube-history https://myadcenter.google.com/u/1/controls/ads-data/youtube-... If you don't trust those settings, why would you trust the setting to turn off history?
