IMHO (I am not an expert, but I have probably seen the industry more than some of the enthusiastic ones here), it hurts your brand reputation. Yes you might rank for certain keywords for a limited time, but you will often end up with nothing after that. It's ok or churn and burn. If you have a real business, don't copy word for word.

Yes, Duplicate content do effect your website's overall seo and rankings.

You should atleast rewrite your content on your own words.

Hope, You are not copying word to word.

Another website of mine ranking First Page, 90% of duplicated content. In the end, Black Hat Will Always Win. Its my motto. Brand new domain, rent-a-car and leasing.

Yes, it definitely affects your SEO for posting the duplicate content as it as. You can try to rewrite the content with the help of some small SEO tools like plagarism checker, quillbot and grammerly and then you can post the. I think this won't affect your ranking.

Yes, it is harmful for site. If you write high quality original content, there are more chances of ranking higher.
