Do Earth’s 600 Satellites Affect Tides through Gravitational Pull Like the Moon?

The Moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth’s tides is well known. However, with the increasing number of man-made satellites orbiting the Earth in recent years, the question arises: do these satellites also affect the tides? While the gravitational pull of each individual satellite is relatively weak, the combined gravitational pull of all the satellites orbiting
