Yes.
Not in this industry due the recent events, but my next and last moving is to build ONE megasite during the next 5 years.
A guy with a 10 basic pages new website an 100k to buy links, at glance could be a challenger for a mature site.
But the SE’s knows this.
Links can be achieved artificially or by hiring a manager.
Quality and sticky content will remain for ever.
And maybe after the Google kingdom .
