My App Is Dead in the Water

The key difference is, Twitter and Reddit are big. The app store rules are way more flexible, when you have millions of users.

That's not the key difference here. The key difference here is that the content author has control of the output. In the app in question, the app is scraping the content and the app developer is choosing how it's outputted. That's why the app is in violation.

Reddit is not the content author.

I never said reddit was. The app in question isn't exclusively limited to content on reddit. Since anyone can post content from any website on Hacker News, there are several content sources and none of them are being displayed natively in this app.
