Odds are, no curation guild in the history of Hive will actively touch the second [(one-picture, two-paragraph)] post

And, odds are that if that one-picture two-paragraph post did get a few big upvotes, it would also draw one or two big downvotes (to “protect” the rewards pool from that “over rewarded” post). In fact, I would not be surprised if the post ended up downvoted to zero, by one or two whale accounts.

The ability for a single whale account to unilaterally nuke other accounts (with impunity) is a significant problem desperately needing some reform, imho.
