How does google treat wordpress sites which use plugins to generate content on auto-pilot?

I recently bought a wordpress site which had this plugin installed:


now, while i'm aware that many wordpress sites use this plugin to make a dead website look alive. I'm curious how google sees such websites. i'm pretty sure this does not give any positive signals to google but just wanted to know what kind of risk i'm taking up with this website if i continue to use this plugin?

if the content posted by these plugins are unique I don't think there's any problem with that.

actually its the opposite of unique. the content is taken right away from some other website, with proper citation though

I know! I'm using one of these plugins on a website of mine and it's posted over 100 articles in 1 month or so, all articles with proper citation as you call it. It didn't boost my rankings, but it didn't hurt them either. As a matter of fact the website ranks nowhere and get about 10 clicks per month. I need to post more unique content if I want to rank, but I am soooo fucking lazy. Sometimes I wish that someone just shoot me to end my misery.

But anyway, I digress... the point is that they don't hurt in any way. At worst, google will disregard your copy of the content and rank the original one.

using wp automatic,
0 backlinks, using the double translating to spin the text,
most of the content is plagiarized, but well...

Many websites with auto-generated content rank well.
It's stupid to fetch the content and post them without any change.
To generate unique content, rank them, translate from a foreign website, proofread before publishing, change image alt, etc., and you are good.
