Nnnmmmm, it kinda is.

By walking down the street and shopping for groceries, even healthy non donut ones, you're engaging in surveillance capitalism. Every dollar you spend, every place you go, everything you look at, and everything you do is part of surveillance capitalism.

Everywhere on the internet is also part of that same apparatus as TikTok. Every online person (entity) you meet, every app you use, every moment you spend, every platform you visit.....it's all part of a larger system.

Ergo, watching TikTok snippets on YouTube does not peotect you from influence or make you morally superior, my guy. Get over yourself.
