Can I use the Apple TV without paying for a subscription to Apple TV? I don't want to watch Apple TV. I want to use the box for the apps. I have a firestick, but that doesn't require me to have Amazon Prime.

Yes, the Apple TV hardware / streaming devices operate independently from the optional Apple TV+ subscription-based streaming service. Like the Fire TV and Roku devices, many apps are freely available that may or may not depend on their own subscription service.
