It really does seem hard to get visitors these days, even for original niche content. The first page of Google search results is half social/video/news carousels instead of genuine long-term content, and a lot of the other links point to repetitive articles published by generic big-name websites that never really add anything new.

This is the point of nofollow, to get rid of small websites and to prevent them. The spam story is nonsens, it does nothing spam protection related.
