The “low effort posting” thing? You’re probably right on that. Most of the examples of low effort posting I can think of would be covered under one of the other rules.
One I had to remove yesterday after it got like 14 reports was just a screenshot of a shitty news source, so, yeah, not an article, questionable source, also a low effort post but that was the LEAST of the reasons it was removed.
But it’s not a matter of “mods can remove anything”, that’s what got one of our other mods in trouble. Someone had a comment removed, messaged me going “hey, why was my comment removed?” and my investigation found what seemed like abuse.
I brought in the site Admins going “Hey, this seems above my $0 paygrade.” and they took care of it.
