Digital Nomad Visa in Turkey: where is the catch? (alien.top)

I've been researching the idea of becoming a digital nomad in Turkey, and honestly, it almost sounds too good to be true. Here’s what I found:

Apparently, a rental contract is all you need to get a residence permit.
It seems that having over $500 in your bank account for each month of your stay in Turkey is sufficient as proof of income.
And if you're staying for less than six months, you don't have to pay any taxes.

Is all of this accurate? It seems a bit too easy – am I missing something?

it used to be easy and now it's not – most people have gotten rejected in the last year. you can apply for a student visa though and that's pretty much guaranteed

(i've lived there the past two summers - falls)
