Mediavine keeps rejecting me. Any tips?

So I applied for Mediavine a few weeks ago, when my sessions were lower than what they required. I assumed they would deny my website because of this but figured MAYBE they would be a little lenient as the site was only about 4k sessions off. After I applied, it took a few days but they finally rejected me for said reason and gave me some generic email with crap going over "quality guidelines and blah blah blah"

No big deal, figured I would apply again the second I hit the session requirement.

The second I hit the threshold for sessions, I applied again, They got back to me today with the same crap, but this time, it was nothing about sessions but only said

"We are sorry, but we cannot move forward," and then I get sent the same articles to review. I literally cannot find a single thing in those articles that help me in the least as every single one of those requirements I meet. In fact, I thought MAYBE it had something to do with a couple of the article topics, but I have other competitors in my niche that have topics WAY worse, and they are on Mediavine. In fact, a couple of the topics on there shocked me that Mediavine was even affiliated with them.

I have 50k sessions.
My niche is in a niche they heavily monetize in, so I know it's not the niche.
My content is always minimum 1k words.
I have images in all of my posts
The spacing on my content is always 2-3 sentences per paragraph.
All of my content is unique and passes copyscape.
I have 93% traffic from places like the united states, cananda, united kingdom, etc. (84% of that is US traffic.) so I know its not this.
My average time on a page is 6 minutes.

I am sure they are just like google and never get back to you, so does anyone have any advice on what "secret" things they might look for? I can't actually attempt to fix what they deem unacceptable if I have no clue what it is.

Bump, interested

What Ad platform are you using now?

Remove the questionable content. That's probably the reason why you were rejected. Doesn't matter whether competitors have said content they could have added it after they were approved.

So, remove the topics which could cause issues then re-apply.

It happens and I know it's quite frustrating. These networks just send a generic email and leave it with us to identify the real cause....

May be that the sessions were almost at the edge, that could be the reason? Sometimes applying again after couple of months with increased traffic would get you accepted.

Why not try for any other network meanwhile? (This thread is old and it will be interesting to know if OP got accepted by now)

Maybe you should start looking for a new network. Sometimes they deny you for the most bizarre reasons. I was once denied because my website wasn't a social media website even though their website says nothing about having to be a social media site
