As a successful blogger with a large audience in multiple niches I am intrigued, but I also have concerns. First, I worry about duplicate content hurting the SEO of my sites. Given that steemit does not monetarily reward evergreen content, I am not inclined to let my best evergreen items be published twice. Especially not in close time to each other. Someone in comments suggested a time delay, but even that bothers me since I think the size of steemit could still cause outranking. Right now, I am publishing a niche here that does not fit well on my main blogs or I am rewriting my old content. Next, I am concerned about all the plagiarism bots. I don’t want to get flagged. Finally, I have multiple niches. Until steemit does something to let publishers categorize by topic, I don’t want to flood my blog here with stuff from a ton of different niches.

Thanks for your feedback !
We are still thinking about how to alleviate this issue. Delayed posts, cannonical urls, backlinks, we'll see but I'm confident that it will be sorted out.
Like a lot of people here apparently ! I think it's not an issue, all of these people have whitelists and if you start using steempress and notify them, I'm fairly sure you won't get flagged, I mean they act for the good of steem to avoid spam. They wouldn't go against actual original creators coming to steem.
Yeah it's an issue that's been here for a long time on steemit. In the future we'll implement some filter functions on SteemPress so you can choose one category and post only articles from this one. But yeah unless we setup a system where you could post each category in one different steem blog, it'll be hard to fix it on our side.
I definitely think some delayed posting options would be good. And cannonicals and/or backlinks would help.
