My app opens and live-updates infowindows based on real-time streaming data coming in through polled or long-running requests. It's already unusually bandwidth and CPU intensive for javascript. The idea of a many additional xhrs or fetches to google while this is happening seems like a bad one. Am I right? Should I opt out even though I don't mind being indexed?
