#13Nice work, but like others, I have a "too good to last long" feeling. What is the legal situation for such services? Is the provider liable in any way for how users use the service?
Honestly I build this for my personal use. I just would like to share and get some feedback for my little project. Do I need to update usage policy? I don't know man. help....
I am not a lawyer, here my 2 cents:
Usage policy won't shield you since it's your server facilitating the download and distribution (allowing the user to download) part. Unlike a tool like youtube-dl which is self hosted and the responsibility falls on the user.

I don’t understand what this means. It sounds like advertising with extra steps.
And it seems like the user can repost videos? So you’re downloading videos, removing watermarks, and then reposting with your own ads? Surely I must be misunderstanding. Would welcome clarification.

Uh, unless you're trying to find a way to experience the legal system, I would take this down ASAP if I were you.

The actual use case without this service is that. User find tiktok video, download it on their machine. User then find affiliate link. Create a social media post with video as attachments and affiliate link as a comments on the post.
So this function will automate that and user just need to paste the video link and system will do the rest including post to their social media on behalf of them.

#20I’ve never understood why websites like this exist when one can use yt-dlp locally, which will always be faster and give more control on the user.
