Is hook-up culture part of individualism because it commodifies other people as just sex objects? (lemmygrad.ml)

I am thinking of the mindset of wanting to hook up with as many people as possible not taking into consideration other people ‘s feelings or who might get hurt in by the process, which objectifies other individuals. That is an individualistic thought process, right?

Edit: I meant commodification in the sense of online dating apps, escort services, only fans, porn, prostitution and patriarchy. This trickles to the culture due to base and superstructure, and it is adopted by individualism.

No argument here. It's no wonder most people here look to the cultures of their ancestors.
