Apple TV YouTube App requires Exit or Cancel to switch to a different App

This is a new issue. On my LG Smart TV, using Apple TV, I watch the YouTube App, but when I try to switch to another App, Netflix or Fox Sports for example, YouTube is now asking if I really want to Exit or Cancel. If I Exit, I get a black screen and have to shut off Apple TV and turn it back on to get anywhere else.

I am a YouTube subscriber, but not sure if that is making a difference.

‘Wonder if this is so the app can remain open in background for some reason, while other apps are in use. Can multiple apps remain open on Apple TV? I only use one at a time.

What possible good is it to add more resistance to closing the YouTube app, though? I loathe those redundant confirmations. Of course I want to close the app!
