How does Apple allow these scams on the App Store?

Read this medium post. How the hell do some of these apps pass app review in the first place?

There you go, from the article you posted:

Turns out, scammers are abusing Apple’s relatively new and immature App Store Search Ads product. They’re taking advantage of the fact that there’s no filtering or approval process for ads, and that ads look almost indistinguishable from real results, and some ads take up the entire search result’s first page.

Still how is Apple not catching this? Does no one at Apple ever review or look at analytics on top grossing apps. Something like this would stick out like a sore thumb.

They got more than 2 million apps in the app store. Do the math on how many reviews they get a day.

This app was/is top 10 in top grossing app charts. Does no one ever look at those metrics? And maybe there wouldn't be 2 million apps in the store if garbage like this was never approved.

I don't think it has anything to do with anything being "immature''' Apple ads they have not nailed it yet. Even the experienced can't stop this 100%. These people are pretty smart. even when u compare it to Apple.
