Aside from the usual Porn Is Evil factors, IMO we haven't done ourselves any favors with Google and others by being an industry that basically normalizes shitty spammy advertising.
Part of this is due to the affiliate model - producers & site owners contract out the marketing to whoever-the-fuck, including thousands of unqualified people who have no better ideas than to vomit a river of spam, retarded feeder sites, etc, into the internet. It's comical, many the industry's tried & true marketing models are completely unacceptable in other fields because they're obnoxious, spammy, and low quality. It's become a "throw a bunch of shit against the wall & some will stick" business - of course this isn't going to get you credibility with the search engines or other content aggregators.
So yeah - there's definitely a puritanical streak at work as always, but don't underestimate the effects of years of useless garbage being pumped into the web by morons in the industry.
