Good thing is now everyone can rank.

It applies to highly competitive keywords. Just needed to have a long well researched content try to make it as original you can.not sure whether this applies to all niches and all keywords (especially the ultra competitive ones in evergreen and profitable niches) but it's a breath of fresh air

i dont thing this is totally accurate. Also DR is largely meaningless, unless its your site and you know you dont have PBN's pushing it up. A low DR site can rank if its backed by strong sites that ahrefs cant see.
What you think about a newly launched one month site not having strong backlinks or only 10 Rd? Competing against 2100 monthly searched keywords in fashion industry niche?

I think your should target low hanging fruit. 1 month old domain wont rank for a while for competitive keywords. Have 200+ articles, 500k-1m+ words and you will start seeing rankings.
There are other logics too, but I think backlinks are now very less valuable.

I seriously doubt that. You can beat any site with good content and strong links. Sure garbage links dont mean anything, but actual strong links definitely move the serps. There are two routes, medium amounts of content with strong links, or a massive library with strong internal linking with weak-ish link profiles. There isnt much to it so i wouldnt overthink it.

Not sure about others but in my niche I can see a repeated sets of websites ranking that are pretty much 2-5 years old.

The recent update isn´t rolled out yet. Anything you see now is temporary. Google itself states it takes 7 - 14 days for the broad core update to be rolled out completely.
But if your assumption proves true, I have no problem starting tens of new websites immediately

Someone launches an auto-blogging site copying from that DA 4 site, and outranks it. Google is weird.
