Any references for this? I have only heard of this happening when the page is clearly for donations (like this case) or almost exclusively composed of 'give us money' content.

Apple removes app until post is amended. 2. Also apparently the bandcamp app has no links to their website, for the same reason. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19378914 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19378914 Amazon Kindle app could not link to amazon.com as users could purchase books there without giving apple their cut
- evgen 6y agoAmazon.com is nothing but a sales site so I cannot imagine why anyone would think it is anything other than a path to try to route around in-app purchases, same with Bandcamp. The one with the developer blog and a patreon link is a lot weaker, but the other two examples were explicity not allowed according to the rules at the time.
