Wouldn't surprise me if a lot of global users ended up using the US app instead of TikTok.

You won’t get the option to do it through the app stores, so pretty much no one’s going to do it.

Why would anyone want to use OracleTok?

TikTok is banned in India. OracleTok might not be.. So that's a lot of potential users.

		It's been 5 years since it was blocked, and there has been a lot of competing apps. OracleTok would be no different from a new entry to the market which has little chance to win.

Same way everyone uses all the other US apps?

		In this case we're talking about them actually having a choice.

Nope. I get a lot localised content. The local food reviewers etc. won't miss out on US views. The people creating content in local languages won't notice a difference either. 15 years ago I think things would have went differently but now I think people will want the non-US version. And I wouldn't be surprised if US users grab themselves a VPN and a pirated APK and use it too.
