" but I'm always hesitant to click because I'm afraid it will start suggesting them without ability to stop." The only workaround I know of, is using incoknito tabs/new profiles/different account. It should be supported out of the box, to watch a video with the option to not include that into your profile. (my account is messed up beyound hope, for not doing this, I can only start a new one, but I don't use yt that much anyway)
