It looks like there could be a reasonable explanation for this. There are apps that have different behavior whether or not there is text in the clipboard (e.g. enabling a "paste" button), and they're only checking that the text exists, not what it is. There's a new API that will let devs do that without triggering the user notification.

If TikTok is actually constantly loading the clipboard, that's obviously terrible. I'd bet this behavior is gone by the next release, and that shows how useful this new notification is.

Same issue with notes from that app's developer saying what's going on and how they will fix it: https://twitter.com/ecormany/status/1275903947899797505
