Eh... There's a difference between utilizing or societally benefiting someone else's labour and exploiting someone for their labour. Exploitation in an economic sense generally requires you to capitally monopolize a persons excess production value for personal gain. You can't really be considered exploitive unless you own the means of production. Basically unless you are a business owner or employ someone you aren't really participating in capitalism in an exploitive manner.
