If rejecting apps that can lead to adult content (but not necessarily the main focus) seems to be the norm, how do reddit apps get around it?

The article also mentioned twitter and instagram. All the apps that let you look at user generated content.

New accounts created on iOS is disallowed NSFW content and it has to be explicitly enabled from browsers

Just double checked — it seems there is a “allow NSFW” content switch in the iOS system settings. Reddit on iOS gives you a link into the system settings app when you search for NSFW content. But it does appear to be disabled by default in anonymous browsing mode anyways.

The article has some speculation about this. A combination of Apple not wanting to ban larger apps like that, and larger companies having more staff to resubmit the app a thousand times to get through the thousand arbitrary rejections.

Instagram forbids NSFW content platform-wide.

so true. we submitted an app that had “Sign In With Apple” in a localized version.

One reviewer rejected saying it should be “Continuar com a Apple”, we submitted and, on a later review, reviewer rejected saying it should be “Conectar com Apple” which it already was the first time.

That is extremely frustrating and arbitrary.
