a mutated form of free TV.

Fantastic description!

Similarly, Casey Newton described it as "Managed decline", on which I riffed "big tech is moving on from the internet".

But yea, something relatively drastic is happening here. The big-tech end of the internet is no longer the internet we used to have. As you say: Mutated Broadcast TV.
