Competitor delving into semi related tangential topics to boost word count

Competitor added like 1k words of content that is semi relevant to the target keyword and is currently ranking at 1st position.
Should I do the same or should I fluff my content based around the keyword only to take over their wordcount?

No offense, but have you considered creating one thread where you post all your questions?

Yeah lmao I'm sorry for asking all these questions. But I keep posting them as I come across them so it's difficult to assimilate them in one place.
