Can any brave soul wade through the LLM prose to provide a human-readable summary?
Man, I could use $699. If this gets even a single sale, then maybe I need to try having less decency... (I guess that is sort of a roundabout summary...)

#22> Everything described here is a private Go repository. One-time payment, permanent access, complete source. > $699 one time · lifetime access Not open-source apparently. And I cant find the reddit post but I think I read that videos/assets are not actually pre-downloaded, they have to be requested through Tiktok API using the provided code. So if Tiktok patches, the code will need updates too.
But I think this is the 289GB data (free): https://huggingface.co/datasets/kuben-developer/tiktok-video...

Would you say that this is immoral? Since it’s data that’s public anyways, I don’t see why putting it in a table and selling it is a bad thing.
My criticism was basically - this is trying to sell an AI slop project for $699 a pop - I could get this out of a few Claude Code sessions if I had the storage and network bandwidth to run such a scraper. The value proposition is questionable when the writing shows that the entire project was AI generated, and clearly Claude understands the way the TikTok Android app internal API works quite well...

What is "public" data? It admits to violating the ToS.
ToS are just what you follow if you don't want to get banned off of the site. If you don't care about that, then you can go hog wild, though you're being a bit of a jerk/not playing nice obviously.

No, I don't care at all, but I recognize that my morals might be lower than others here. To me it's just public data...whatever.
