I'm sure you all stand ready to make slippery slope arguments, but an inducement at the end of a live TV broadcast for the user to continue watching the same series by other means does not strike me as either novel or objectionable. All streaming services will prompt you to continue watching the next installment of serialized content at the end. How is this actually different from that?

In specific answer to your question, I'll just point you to your first sentence correctly identifying this as one of those slippery slope situations that the fallacy is named after.
