Companies talk about viral loops, positive reinforcement and variable rewards. These are literally weaponized psychology used to generate revenue. If you don't see how that's different from music and TV, I got nothing for you. As an aside, games have mostly been taken over by this mentality, so I'm removing them from your list -- but the Tipper Gore era video games were a joke compared to modern games.
