I followed the instructions and opted out yet I'm still seeing what my users watched along with getting emails listing the same. I'm certain none of my users are interested in this and likely skipped through the pop-up without reading/comprehending it.

I think that as the server owner it's a given that you'll be able to see what people watch.

Having the ability to see it versus having it pushed in your face in the app and in weekly emails are two completely separate things.
