Yes, we are always trying to have some effects on other people's behavior, but I don't think most people would say it's marketing. And maybe most important, quantity is a quality on itself. So, me as an individual trying to persuade another individual is a total different game than a big corporation trying to persuade millions of people. To give a more clear cut example, me having a look on the street is very different to mass surveillance.

Of course it’s convenient to define it the way it best fits your argument. I don’t blame you for that.

Quantity is of course relevant. But then again big corporations can do ANYTHING at a bigger scale than you and me.
