For paywalled sites that let users read X free articles, the easiest solution for me was to block all cookies from the site, i.e. block all cookies from [*.]medium.com. Medium will always think that "You have 2 free member-only stories left this month". This has worked for nytimes and medium so far.

>they were able to resolve it by contacting google.
Do they happen to be government-funded, or represent a health company as stated above? To be fair, I didn't follow up the rejection, I just assumed the rule would be set in stone and they wouldn't budge. The app was free, no ads or any method to profit from covid so I was pretty shocked.

Google have flat out banned any apps that have anything to do with combating COVID-19 if they aren't either funded by their government or are a registered health company. I tried releasing a symptom tracker app before Zoe released theirs and it was rejected for this reason.
