This sounds really good! Was also thinking about "default off" but adding a fee sounds even better since the API isn't free.
However, do you mean the user who posts the link can turn it on or is it per user who views the link?
Making it a one-time fee for the user who posts the link makes sense from a "someone must pay"-perspective and since it's only one API request.
But do these users have the incentive to pay? Shouldn't the users who want to read the summaries pay? But multiple users would then pay even though it's just a single request for SN...
Maybe it could be a interactive prompt?
Then users can really leverage the power of AI: They can also start asking questions in natural language and get responses.
good points. i haven’t yet thought through all the incentives, but figure there should be some money component since the API requests aren’t free.
the interactive prompt idea is a good one too, especially as SN’s content library grows larger. Imagine being able to ask the Reddit AI bot questions about any topic…

A prompt on first iteration might be too complex though.
So I think just a well adjusted fee for every user who wants a summary could be good enough for now.
Would be really interesting to see how many users really would pay for this (depends on the fee of course which further depends on how much it costs SN).
