Ultimately, voting is an exercise in judgment by voters applying their own standards. I will say that I’ve seen very short text posts (as opposed to quick takes) get the same treatment.
Where the linkpost is to a video, I think it’s usually low value unless there’s enough information to enable the reader to make their own decision about whether to use their time to view it. I’m a little more forgiving with linkposted text, which can be quickly skimmed.
(Again, I did not vote and can only speculate on why others did)
