It's just... Part of TikTok is attention-seeking.

It's kinda the entire point for a lot of the users and uploaders, that and getting paid to continue the cycle of creating more content.

If you're expecting us, as-in, the federated populace on Lemmy and Mastodon to use it, I dunno, man. Sharing personal content is a very rare use case here. We usually stick to news and memes.

Then again, communities that are rather reliant on a performance like fishing, sports, guitar, drums, and skill toys like yoyos might get a use out of having a safe public place to upload themselves without outside influence.
