It really depends on the website and whether there is a paywall. I sometimes check it if I don't want to read the whole article but it's a bit of a crapshoot whether it works. I really expect it not to work, but will still try it every now and then.
Since it's a paid feature, I'd expect it to work all the time. If it only works for sites without a paywall, and sometimes just doesn't work at all, we really shouldn't have to pay for it
How would it access text that is behind a paywall?
There are sites that you can paste a link to an article with a paywall, and it'll remove the paywall. It could use that if it detects a paywall. Or maybe look at the HTML directly, if the content is on there?
