    Think of it on the flipside. If I make a website, I don’t control who accesses it, and if I run ads or something, figuring out where that revenue is coming from is quite difficult. It can be done, but if I have to pay taxes to a hundred different countries, that’s quite the burden.

    I don’t know how DSTs work in practice, but ideally we’d just discourage ads in general. Paying taxes on actual transactions (sub fees and whatnot) is easy, and ads suck.

      figuring out where that revenue is coming from is quite difficult.

      Since all countries have long traditions in requiring that from a business, it doesn’t matter if it’s difficult or not.
