SA - help me understand workflow of rejection reasons

Naiht

Published on October 8, 2012

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

I am posting about this to try to make an understanding on how Street Articles reviews articles.
I submitted my first article on October 2nd and got a first rejection the day after for "Intended purpose of phrase is purely to obtain a link".
I amended the incriminated link and resubmitted but got another rejection, this time on a "reference" term not allowed within the content. My first thought was, why the heck they didn't tell me about this in first rejection (term was already present within initial submission)?
Got a third rejection today, again for a third different reason: "Article does not make sense and will not benefit the end user."
If the article "....does not make sense...", why do I have to wait a third rejection (and a full week) instead of being told of ALL incongruities within my article at the same time?
I am not an expert at writing articles but I started submitting to other article directories which, I noticed, notifies rejection reasons all at once which, from my point of view, makes far more sense for both author and article directory staff.
