Do only building articles/posts but NO backlinks really work?!

It's fine ranking for really low competition keywords just through content, while you have no competition as such.

I have a test site with no backlinking done to it in over 3 years, I've been adding 2 - 3 pieces of content a week and it's ranking for most articles and getting indexed in 48-72 hours sowing on Ahrefs and Semrush. Traffic is a little over 5.3k organic. At some point, I'll start off doing a little bit of backlinking and see what improvements that brings.
I also got a 3-page site that ranks #1 for 1 keyword for years lol. Yeah, I guess it's all about competition.
 
If u can't beat quora or reddit on a regular basis you should check the quality of your articles.
Hard to tell what you are doing wrong, so I can't really advise anything.
November probably won’t even be out of the sandbox fully. Probably just need to keep going. Most people who rank with content only have 700-1500 articles.

there is a journey in the journeys section that is an authority site earning $13k per month from ads all from content building but says it takes around 6 months for any material traffic to come to an individual article.
 
Backlinks are number one factor that determine the ranking. So , you cannot rank without backlinks.
