This is especially annoying and just incredibly creepy -- I was watching a clip of Smiling Friends on YouTube (via my Apple TV), and I suddenly got a banner telling me to watch this on HBO Max.
I never felt more motivated to pi-hole the TV.
You could try getting an European TV, at least then it will ask and you can say no.
A banner from Apple or your TV trying to navigate you back to its own HBO app?

Or just disconnect from the internet entirely? You already have an apple tv. Why does your tv need internet access?
