Why summaries other people already asked for are free

A video's transcript does not change, so its summary is the same for everyone. Once one person has asked for it, serving it again costs nothing, so it does not count against your two a day. Popular things are the cheapest things to read.

What happens to what you read

Summaries of public videos and articles are stored and shared, because they are the same for everyone. Nothing behind a login or a paywall is ever stored. See Privacy.
