Why is AppleTV forcing me to sign in every time I use it (even for access to non-apple apps)?

Apple TV is now requiring sign in every time I use it? Even if I’m using other apps such as Netflix, appleTV now requires a sign in. Why? Does Apple corp not have enough information on me? Now they want to track EVERYTHING I watch?


please do not respond with something about “my tv” or “my settings”. That’s just BS. This is apple corp being invasive and controlling.

Is it Apple, or is the sign-in prompted by apps such as Netflix ? How has your viiewing been set up to work?

NB: warning: the reply does mention "tv" and "settings" in attempting to trouble-shoot the issue
