seo html data-nosnippet hides text from the snippet, not from the index
it controls what google is allowed to quote in search results. the content is still crawled, still indexed, still counts for ranking.
spotify api a paused spotify track still returns 200
/currently-playing returns 204 for "nothing playing" but 200 with a full item for a paused track. is_playing is the only thing that tells them apart.
react nextjs don't gate children on `mounted` in a theme provider
the standard hydration fix blanks your entire prerendered page. it ships an empty body to crawlers and og scrapers.
