I'm with you that in some niches you have to buys links and others seem to get away with it.

While I understand what you are saying, maybe if we instead focus on buying content instead of buying links, we might get better return on investment?

Really good content tends to get really good links. And it also tends to make visitors happy.

If I go to a site and it has mediocre content, then I am unlikely to buy their products / click the ads / pay for a membership / give them my email.

If I go to a site and it has GREAT content, I am MUCH more likely to buy their products / click the ads / pay for a membership / give them my email.

I'm just saying maybe we are putting the cart before the horse.
