That is true but not totally... the reason all of the purchased links haven't hurt them that much is because their domain authority is so high (or with sites like pornhub.com) - the real reason the porn tubes went to the top of the heap is because people go there and view the content for a long time, stay on the site for a long time, and a come back.
I suspect, the switch the mozilla guys did had more to do with privacy then SERPs, because as we all know when it comes Google's core product (search)... they do it better than anyone.
