  • I think there is no obvious way of telling this, because it depends on how you if statement will be constructed and in the end what machine code will be generated from your code.

    So best thing would probably be implement both and measure the results. I would argue that’s how performance optimisations work. Don’t trust on what a forum post tells you.

    However chances are high that both will have similar performance in a range that doesn’t matter for your use case… Without knowing your use case :)





  • No my initial point is, that if you are boarding with how to setup a VPN you are probably not the main user that TikTok is generating money from.

    Plus companies will probably not use a platform that is banned in a country to target people in that country.

    And plus if you are willing to just Google or look up a single video tutorial about what a VPN is or how to set it up you are probably above of the average Internet user today.



  • Meanwhile people still arguing Fedivers will never succeed because it’s to complicated to pick a server :D

    If someone goes the extra mile to get informed about and use a VPN, this person is no longer the average user of TikTok. I’m sure everyone including a 90 years old grandma is able to setup and use a VPN on it’s own, put it requires a change in mind that definitely impacts you behavior online for the better. So again would be a Win.



  • Just because it’s much more common in those countries compared to USA or Europe to use a VPN it doesn’t mean the average user there is actually using them. If there are even regions where it’s forbidden to use a VPN (than that’s highly concerning more than a TikTok ban or anything else!) it’s even more unlikely the average user will have VPN access.

    And again all of my other points I think are much more important in that thought process.
