Without the hundreds or thousands of paid or manipulated backlinks you fall into the zone where you get the scrutiny but the scraped tubes do not.

Sorry, but I don't buy that at all.
It makes no sense whatsoever for google to ignore the will of surfers because someone
has a lot of back links. All the back links could be from "Report a scammer sites".
You view google only as an algorithm, but no company is going to be just that.
They are going to use common sense also. It's just plain common sense that the
link that is clicked the most with the lowest bounce rate is going to be moved to the top of search results, because that is clearly the link the surfers like.
