If I get spammy backlinks removed is it still necessary to disavow?

Now there is some conflicting beliefs here and I want to know what you think.

If I got a high spam website to remove my backlink, is a disavow through search console still necessary ?

Keep in mind if it helps even in the slightest to improve rankings im for it!

Hello,

Disavow is no longer necessary - https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-disavow-tool/289871/

If that links have spam score above 70, then you don't need to disavow. Google is already considered as spam.

The situation is this. I was featured on a high quality website. Immediately 8 other high quality sites copied the exact article which linked to me.. Now I have these backlinks

all spam links must be disvow specially the root domain of the spam link.

You generally don't need to take any action on these types of links (you don't need to remove or disavow). Google can see they are just scraped duplicates or a real article and ignore them.

But let's say they were harmful bad links (maybe paid links or irrelevant placed sneakily by you - ie: a link to iphones from a page about dogs), then when you remove links it's always a good stop-gap to also disavow. Because Google might not immediately crawl the URLs with bad links right away, but the disavow they will in theory pick up on more quickly.
