Tbh I used it for two weeks and uninstalled it not long after. People have said you have to 'give it a chance' to get to know you but all I saw was high tier cringe and lowest common denominator content. I much prefer twitter and this site for dev content. I think the short snappy nature of TikTok just promotes less in depth content. I also have worries about how data is mined on that app. I mean I know they're all at it but TikTok does seem to give a deeper level of access to your phone from what I have read.

Tldr - not my thing, don't get the appeal, worried about how the app mines data.
