You can just open the video in a private window to avoid influencing the recommendation engine.

  But then you have to pay for it with ads, and they're really cranking the thumbscrews with the ads these days. EDIT: on the other hand, a few days back I accidentally used private browsing on a technical video and got a few of those mythical good ads of the sort that inform you about a genuinely interesting and relevant product you didn't know about. So maybe it's not the worst thing ever.
