Great question!
I'm gonna answer it as someone who came to the US without any intention of immigrating here. Just get a degree and go back, was my plan.
So my number 1 reason was the universities. US university system is at a whole other level altogether. Just is!

Just generally, all things being equal, if you're looking for a university degree of any kind, USA beyond compare. Sure, there are great universities in Europe too. But on the aggregate, especially when you're applying, US universities are the best. And have great resources.
Another thing the US has is the sheer size and scale as an immigration destination. It is a MASSIVE country, economically, geographically, culturally, demographically. Gives you a lot more flexibility than if you were to move to *a* European country. Even with EU flexibility.
Had a lot of fun in this long freewheeling chat about #WhiteHatJr, parallels with IIPM, details of the common tactics, and then a general conversation about the post truth world. And how the idealism of blogging days was stymied by sophisticated misinformation swarms.
My laptop was tied up elsewhere so had to prop up my phone for this interview and omg my jowls ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
"Imagine if you wrote a negative review of a restaurant online saying their food was horrible and the restaurant took you to court because they found your review mean. That's what #WhiteHatJr is doing."
