Rebel's example is also a SEO thing, but it relies mostly on luck (ref links becoming indexed and ranking high).
The outgoing links of a site are a very important factor in how an SE can judge the trustworthiness of that site. On a top ranking for a very competitive keyword, every single outgoing link can make a HUGE difference. Some paysites rank well and can be totally relevant, other paysite domains are completely sandboxed...

Google prefers pages written by everyday folk for everyday people with some great content and information, and everyday folk certainly dont even know about the existance of "nofollow" tags.

You have a good point about great content written by everyday folk. But google sees using nofollow as good practice eg on sold links. That's why I wouldn't classify it as artifical webmastery or anything spooky, it's as white hat as can be
