You are getting way too literal. Like saying a digital camera doesn’t actually take a picture but a series of code that forms a picture. What a waste of time and brainwaves.
A digital camera does take a picture, and then encodes that picture in one of several compressed image formats. The image formats generally do not contain code. I'm not sure what your point is.
Not sure why you're being downvoted... you're correct. A QR code is just text, your phone then decide what to do with that text, but it's just text nonetheless.
It's hard to understand what you're talking about when you aren't clear what you're talking about. This particular QR code does encode the URL next to it, that is true. That does not mean "the URL is the QR code". They are two separate things.
A QR code is not a URL. A QR code contains arbitrary text which may include a URL. Every URL is suspect. That is nothing to do with QR codes.
Semantics.
If you're scanning the qr code you're probably clicking a link, right?
That's exactly my point. It's two separate things. Scanning a QR code doesn't do anything but extract the text it contains.
I gotcha

Your autism is superior
I'll take it.

I'm getting downvoted because this site's full of idiots who refuse to admit when they're wrong.
Unfortunately. Everyone's the expert.
A URL is text. A QR code encodes text. That's it.
