The warehouse functions as background, storage, and rhetorical space simultaneously

Evidence

The warehouse is our final background, one that reveals something particularly contradictory about the rise of supply chain capitalism, logistics, and the centrality of warehouses in contemporary capitalist life. On YouTube, the warehouse exists not only as a space of employment, not only as a physical space to store influencer excess—a place to hold objects, commodities, and things—but also as a rhetorical space not so distinct from the logistical view that understands space as a barrier to the free and rapid movement of physical goods in circulation. — Grant Bollmer, Katherine Guinness, The Influencer Factory, 291
