Would be nice if such behaviour tanked SEO
From what I understand, web crawlers see a totally different version of the site than users do
Only due to using a different user agent, it's totally possible to build a for-the-people pagerank that would see what we see and deprioritize stuff like ads and fluff on recipe pages
Why haven't you built it then?
It's on the todo list, just behind a lot of other stuff xD
No profit in doing it.
