But why? If you’re not physically present in the US and are not a US citizen, why would you be subject to (income) tax? Or is that not a form of income tax, but something else?

How are they able to generate the income? Through the services YouTube provides from the US. How is YouTube able to provide those services? Because the US government creates infrastructure to enable it. How is that infrastructure paid for? Taxes. Hence they tax the income.
I'm assuming Youtube already pay taxes in all countries they have revenue in?

I'm sitting at my work machine. You have seen an interesting video on ActivityPub and you want to suggest I watch it. In the ActivityPub world, what is the equivalent to the following set of steps? 1. You send me a Youtube URL 2. I load that page in my browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Android, iPhone, Desktop, anything) 3. I watch the video
In my experience, occasionally watching videos its almost the exact same. 1. You send me a peertube -- any peertube URL 2. I load that page in my browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Android, iPhone, Desktop, anything) 3. I watch the video I'm not sure what the peertube mobile compatibility is like but newpipe supports it and i assume modern mobile browsers work.
YouTube is not popular because it's easy for YOU, it's popular because the creator can get money for a video with a few clicks while Google manages ad contracts, bidding and infrastructure to make the money making happen.
PeerTube doesn't give you that.
Is youtube really worth it at this point? You can publish using activity pub now and most youtubers are funded by patreon and paid sponsors anyway.
Does rt.com know they can just create a collection of tweets inside Twitter?

> Won't every other country now demand that they do the same for them? What other countries have major services like YouTube that pay their content creators in the US where they could 'do the same for them'?
I think they meant that Spain can now demand Youtubers to pay tax for money they made from Spanish viewers on Youtube. Etc.

I’m not arguing for/against btw. Just asking about the technical reason.
