The app store team at @LGUS has informed us that the inclusion of "LGBTQ+ content" is a violation of their policy, and we need to remove the Nebula app in 46 countries.
Lest anyone claim "it's the law," we have NOT received any such claims from Samsung, Apple, or Google.
Also, we requested to see this policy and were told:

"There is no guideline file that guides the seller to the policy."

So LGBTQ+ content violates their policy that they won't show us.
The list of countries:

CIS: Russia, Uzbekistan
MENA: All countries
South America: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica
Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sri Lanka
Africa: South Sudan

46 in total.
“MENA” is Middle East/Northern Africa.
“Cultural and religious elements.”

This isn’t a legal issue. LG apparently has a policy to specifically cater to culturally accepted bigotry. A policy they won’t show us. Screenshot of text: “There is no guideline file that guides the seller to the policy. Internally, we are conducting it in connection with the corporate side and identifying national cultural and religious elements.”

If you work with sponsors, there are three things you absolutely need to know:

1. Your performance
2. How much the sponsor is paying
3. Contact info for the sponsor to verify 1 and 2

If you don’t have these, you cannot possibly understand your value to the sponsor.
How can you possibly set a realistic price without performance data? Not every sponsor shares numbers, but you can at least get what’s called “variance from goal.” Don’t work with people who hide this data.
If there’s an agency involved, they take a commission. No sponsor pays the agency separately, and any agency who says they do is lying. If they won’t tell you, it’s probably too much. One major sponsor just caught an agency skimming 50% from creators.
