(for example, I think it is legitimate to display different content on different sized devices where the style adjusts according to that size).

It depends on what you mean by content….but I would disagree with this statement.

Pseudo elements are intended primarily for styling…other solutions exist to achieve content substitution.

As for whether crawlers can read the ‘content’ my first is to say ‘no’….they’re not in the DOM and there’s nothing to read….then again…I don’t work for Google.
