iOS safari reader view not showing site correctly

iOS safari reader view looks weird. It shows headline and underline of a video and a lot of white space. Also the title is double. It also shows the word advertisement when there is an ad in the original page.

Does anybody know which keywords triggers the reader view in iOS and how to customize it? I found absolutely nothing to this topic at all...

thanks

It seems that there's no official way to customize the viewer. It's technically implemented as Safari Extension and simply injects JavaScript in your page to do its magic. For more information, see the extracted source at https://github.com/amumu/safari-reader-js

Official Apple documentation does mention class SafariReader but as far as I know, there's no way to access that from the content (server emitted HTML or JavaScript). If you could access SafariReader it would provide required methods to better control it. Another interesting class would be SafariContentViewer. If you could somehow access SafariReader, you could then follow the documentation: Working with Safari Reader.
