content is and always will be king.

you can simply adjust your content to your traffic...and do that until you finally make sales/profit so IMO traffic is king

I am doing the same. You are not alone.. :(

Only content matters. Understand it the way you like. Not really difficult to fathom, though... :1orglaugh

Google gives what users want. Do users want walls of (unique) text while looking for porn pics and movies? No. Do yourself a favour and give it up. I see no reason why Google will change this.

I don't like to be distracted when surfing for porn with walls of text and you won't find many on top of SEs like that either unless it's a micro niche (In that case, do it if you know how to write about it and SELL at the same time..) or low traffic KWs.
Handwritten/non-dup content doesn't mean that you have to write a book..

One of my sites is doing really well with Bing; gets almost as much traffic as Google. Have not figured out why some things rank well with B & Y while others rank better on G. Seems these G updates are helping though.

Relevant content will always be the main factor effecting google ranking.

I have come to the conclusion with the latest google updates, it's a case of programs choosing between wanting the top rankings relating to their models/niches taking up by torrents and illegal tubes therefore giving away their content for free or allow affiliates to use SEO (exact match domains) as a form of promotion therefore the top results actually been relevant and directing traffic to the legit paysites.
