Yeah its weird that people keep talking about “Reddit’s content” when they haven’t created shit. At least Slashdot has always said “These comments are owned by whoever wrote them”
Not that slashdot hasn’t become crap, but it’s something.

The same sort of thing is in the Reddit terms of service. They don’t want to own the possibly-offensive, maybe-even-illegal speech that people post there. They just require as a term of service that they receive a perpetual license to do whatever they want with it.
