"adds no value to the steemit platform"

It adds no value to you maybe but I've clicked through a few of his articles so it is indeed adding some value to the platform for some. I even upvote his posts sometimes too. If people don't like it they will stop upvoting it and his incentive will go away.

"forces people to wade through pages"

So what if it adds posts? No one is being forced to wade through anything, they choose to wade through the new section. That is what they are being paid in curation rewards to do. If this site takes off you can expect much more crap to sift through. It's a good problem to have.

steemit should reward original content and not become a repository for cut and paste news articles. If I wanted to read Huffington Post I would go to Huffington Post, not steemit.

So, what does @steemcleaners look for and tag as “plagiarism”?

Word for word copying and pasting from any source.

"steemit should reward original content and not become a repository for cut and paste news "

Fair enough, that's your opinion. My opinion is that there should be a type of post for external links much like reddit provides. Sharing news stories from around the internet is a large part of social media.

"So, what does @steemcleaners look for and tag as “plagiarism”?"

He's only providing snippets with a link to the full article not the full article in it's totality which is why he isn't being flagged as a plagiarist. The distinction they usually use when punishing users is if they were trying to deceive people and pass the work off as their own.

100% copy and paste is 100% copy and paste no matter which way you spin it.
