Thank god for this though. It's the reason I'm in business.
Do you know how long I've been hearing "SEO is dead, better get into PPC"?
SEO won't die because shit like this still sells. I get to come in afterwards and clean it up.

It’s funny when they say content isn’t king. Yeah, you keep thinking that.

In my experience, it isn't. I have the most epic article on a certain topic. It's a 6k word long scientific article with zero fluff written by a real doctor which explains the topic on the molecular level (literally) from A -Z. Without links it went to the top 40. While the first page is filled with 1000 word long articles which briefly introduce the topic, but they are on authority sites with tons of links. In an other niche there is one guy who recycles his own articles on all of his domains, hence every article he has is 25% copied. And guess what, there are some keywords where he is in top 10 with 4-5 domains. Links are the king.

You’re not reading between the lines my friend.
Your 6k word article went to the top 4 pages without you doing anything to it. The sites on the first page with 1k word articles has to BLAST those articles with links.
Large Content with value and small amounts of credible links > lower word count content being blasted.
It’s been that way for me 9/10 times. Everyone will have a vaguely different experience, but engaging content will always be the king.

I think you are not reading between the lines my friend, because you just said that blasting backlinks despite the lower quality content wins.

Okay, I’m sad I actually had to spoon feed my response to you here but alright:
The 1k word article of your competitor was created before yours and ranked before yours (theoretically).
Then the competitor has to blast their way to the top. They had to work for it. They had to work hard too, apparently.
You, wrote a 6k words engaging article, and were placed in the top 4 pages WITHOUT any backlinks and primarily because of on-page SEO and article content.
Now, if you blasted yours with a tiered backlink campaign, obsviously your content would rank.
Thusly, content is king in this scenario. I don’t see how you’re not reading that, but hey, keep thinking that. That way my sites always rank.

Newbie here, I get mixed feedback, but do nofollow links carry no juice or what? Should I be building those as well, especially from high authority domains?

Well, welcome to the forum!
Secondly, no they don't theoretically carry any link juice. However, they provide a different purpose. You need a do-follow/no-follow ratio within your backlink profile. I've always looked at it as, when Google takes a look at your backlink profile and they see you have 100% do-follow links, they're gonna think "how does this guy have control over who links to him?".
So, with that, I've always followed something along the lines of 80/20. 80% DF, 20%NF. That's just a rough estimate.

You actually dont have too spoonfeed your answer as you should know from my first comment that I disagree with you. I dont deny that its easier to rank good content, but the "content is King" is just Google propaganda. And yes, I ranked in top 40, so good for me, and now I have tó build links u know why? Because link is the King. Also, you conveniently didnt mention my comment's second part where the guy ranks copied content áll over the web. If content would be the king and always the best, most informative article would be the #1 seo and linkbuilding wouldnt exist, but it does, because links are still the most important ranking factor.

It shows that content by itself makes up a large % of what goes into what Google factors into for their rankings. In addition to being a large factor, it also will have a higher amount of long tail keywords as the article is longer. Good content would also get backlinks naturally as people would be sharing it, which means less money would need to be spent on building up backlinks.
