So I was just imagining the risky effect it could be of someone learning that a link is phishing and you still attempts to click on it just to check it out.
So you want to fall victim before believing such scam exist? Just wondering how people steps on toes.

Your reply has nothing related to what I post. I posted oppositely with what you argued perhaps against me here.

I said like, you don't need to check any link is a phishing link or not, just ignore links sent to you by strangers. Then in your post, you argued me with different meaning. Perhaps you misunderstood my post or you did not read my post carefully enough before typing yours.

If you are curious, and think that if you spend time for checking a link, it makes you safer, but are you sure that your checking skills are good enough to save you?

You are probably the one misunderstanding me because I was only giving a backup to what you have said saying that... "Avoiding to click untrust links especially one from unknown is best safer" if it can be avoided and not even giving it a try like testing the water to verify if it was really that tainted as said.

Some people do actually dare to take risks of getting information verified first such as clicking on suspecious link and see it outcome before believing it is a deceptive link.

So on the interpretation, I was trying to tell how vulnerable it could be to grant access of your informations to scammers when you are not concious of malicious means of how scammers operates which best to say it is better not to step on unknown source especially links instead of trying to check it out if it is really a scam link regarded to OPs statement on the quote below.

If in doubt we can check the composition of the domain by copy-pasting the link and check it on the text editor to see whether there is trickery or not.
We can also use the following tools:

In further explanation, it is not necessary or it is highily risky in attempting to check out if a link is phishing even after being warned about it just as OP stated.

Some people believing they have secured their device cyber security, it may urge them to still click on the warned malicious link without knowing the strength of the scammers software could defeat their own device security program capacity which could lead to security breach.

So I was on the same page with you commending that it is better we don't even try to check/click the untrusted link out before believing it could hurt us.
And in all, we stand a safer side if the links (unknown) is just being ignored.
