Annoying YouTube Screensavers on Apple TV?

Does anyone know how to disable YouTube’s new, annoying screensavers on Apple TV 4K? I specifically unabled my Apple TV to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity, but now when I pause YouTube it activates screensavers that keep my TV on indefinitely. Some apps, such as ESPN used to do this, then got fixed. This is so stupid, since when does any app activate screensavers that override the device you’re using?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17
