Do backlinks still matter that much?

[NoahBuildsStuff]

Seeing mixed opinions everywhere. Some say backlinks are still everything.


Others say content alone can rank now.
I haven’t built any links yet so not sure what to believe.

people saying “content only” are oversimplifying

nah backlinks still huge, don’t ignore it

 

[MarkDaily]

I think Google cares less than before

I ranked stuff without any links though
