I really like the term "edutainment" for this.
It's the kind of high-brow entertainment that makes you feel like you learn something.
For me, most "push" things are edutainment, whether that'd be Youtube videos or public-broadcaster television programs. Things you seek out yourself are not.
In a similar vein, there's "newstertainment" (news that makes you feel like it's important to watch, but actually changes nothing tangible about your life).
