How common are TMLR desk rejections with "not a suitable venue"? [D]

Submitted a short theoretical paper to TMLR and got desk-rejected with "does not meet our editorial standards or allow us to assess claims and evidence" and "not a suitable venue for this work." Is this a common outcome for first submissions? Curious what typically drives this kind of rejection, scope mismatch, insufficient experiments, or something else. Not looking to appeal, just trying to understand the bar so I don't waste time on the wrong venue next time. Anyone else gotten this and figured out what the actual issue was? submitted by /u/observer678 [link] [留言]
