Are Blog Submission Sites still relevant?

[hmsharma1234]

If you browse the web for blog submission sites list, you will find posts even from some high domain authority sites. They will provide a list of such sites where you should submit your posts for SEO and traffic benefits.
I read somewhere that Google does not give much importance to the backlinks built on these sites. So, a normal question comes to mind, are these blog submission sites still relevant.
Most of the sites say yes to this question. As per them, maybe Google does not value these backlinks as it used to give importance a few years back, these sites are still relevant. The value of these backlinks has reduced but not vanished.
Therefore, to get some link juice and exposure to the new audience one should submit blogs to these sites.
In the same way, there are video submission sites, profile creation sites, etc. All these sites provide same benefits.
