If this information is very true, how does it affect the Steemit community?

well there are the rewards gained through effortless spam

then there is the more serious issue of the effect on STEEMS Google ranking by allowing copy pasting to exist

Shadowbot needs to update its blacklist



indeed and well spotted

this was the first thing that made me suspicious of their claims that the system only rewards quality and punishes spammers and automatically blocks plagiarists

here are some conversations where i first brought it up over a year ago when i was a member

The information you give us is very important

Who do you recommend delegating Sp to get a good performance?

it depends on what you want,
if you want more engagement having 500sp makes a big difference in amount of actions can perform and vote value
but for profits it is currently a loss ,
the best way to use delegation would be to form a group with a few and use this way

Shadow bot used to give goood upvotes
