The meta rule COMPENSATION is defined:

That's based on masscheck results, not necessarily any logic about what the rule means: __COMPENSATION hits X spam and Y ham. __COMPENSATION + __LOCAL_PP_NONPPURL hits 0 spam and Y1 ham, so excluding hits on
__LOCAL_PP_NONPPURL hits improves the S/O of the scored rule.

Granted, this may vary over time.

with

uri __LOCAL_PP_NONPPURL 
m'https?://(?:[A-Za-z0-9-_]+)\.(?!paypal\.com)(?:[A-Za-z0-9-_\.]+)'i

The name suggests to me that it was intended to hit bogus paypal links.
But it actually hits URLs that starts with https?:// but don't start
with https?://<something>.paypal.com

COMPENSATION can then only fire on emails that contain a link with
a paypal.com sub-domain. It also requires !__NOT_SPOOFED.

I'm wondering to what extent COMPENSATION is

 HAS_PAYPAL_LINK && !__DKIM_EXISTS && THROW_MOST_HITS_AWAY
