That was my original point though — it’s not saying that it’s “like TikTok” or “TikTok for X”, it’s literally saying that it is TikTok.

Edit: The title is “TikTok feed for your clips” so I guess in a literal sense it is describing itself as “TikTok for X”, but I think that’s kind of like saying that something is “Uber for ridesharing”. Yeah, that’s just Uber.

It’s more like “Uber for your own cars”. (Would be neat by the way, although I have no idea how it would work!)

Emphasis in “TikTok feed for your clips” is on you curating the feed and supplying the clips – TikTok here refers to the TikTok-like UI, not the platform itself. I’m not sure who would want that, but the idea seems pretty clear to me. Perhaps a less ambiguous description would work better though, I agree.
