If you have to click a <button> and not an <a href=...> to make the text show up, and the text is stored encrypted of obfuscated until then, it will stay off (current) search engines because the crawlers won’t trigger it to show up.
I think it’s probably also more future proof: I expect search engines understanding rot13 (via AI integration) probably comes before crawlers clicking buttons.
Is that possible to do without the plaintext appearing in the HTML of the page?
*I’ve no idea how either websites or search engine indexing work
