True or False: Reader Accounts incur no additional Compute costs to the Data Provider since they are simply reading the shared data without making changes.
False. While Reader Accounts in Snowflake do allow consumers to access and query shared data,
the Data Provider assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the Reader Account.
This includes compute costs associated with executing queries12.
So, even though the consumers are just reading the shared data,
the compute resources they use for this purpose do result in additional costs for the Data Provider

The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account. Similar to standard consumer accounts, the provider account uses shares to share databases with reader accounts; however, a reader account can only consume data from the provider account that created it.
Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit usage, set up a resource monitor for the warehouse.
The question is if the reader account does not incur additional charges to the data provider, which is false.
Based from this statement
"The reader account is created, owned, and managed by the provider account, which assumes all responsibility for credit charges incurred by users in the reader account."
the provider account is responsible for any charges incurred by user in reader account, thus, there can be charges (which can be done by a user in a reader account) and the amount will be incurred on the one who created the reader account / the data provider
B. Note
Warehouses in a reader account can consume an unlimited number of credits each month, which will be charged to your provider account. To limit usage, set up a resource monitor for the warehouse.
