      Sounds more like a parasite than a heterotropic organism. If you were in the GI tract, it’d be a heterotroph, which means you’d be a one time use. But since it’s consistently exposing you to situations where it’s the main beneficiary, seems like it’s parasitic and just taking you for all it can without much care for the repercussions.
