Reddit has a Content Policy[1] which should be understood by all its users. You should also understand the User Agreement[2] that you agreed to upon joining Reddit.

You should be aware that internet outlets desperate for a continual source of new output often rely on Reddit[3] for their content. There are many YouTube channels of varying quality[4] devoted to just reading and reacting to Reddit posts. Some YouTubers have their own Subreddits for collecting user-submitted content; others will just collect and broadcast Reddit content without notice, acknowledgement or even asking for permission. Subreddits such as r/entitledparents, r/choosingbeggars and r/prorevenge are targeted especially because of their nature and because Redditors there tend to make an effort in telling their experiences in the manner of a linear story.

Clickbait sites, ‘tabloid style’ news sites and even legitimate news outlets[5] have also jumped on the bandwagon with stories from family drama or wedding-shaming subs like r/weddingshaming, r/bridezillas and r/JUSTNOMIL among others being especially popular[6]. They will often leave out just enough identifying information so as to fall into “fair use” while still retaining the details[7]. The extent of this can be seen from this screenshot of the Culture section[8] of my subscription to Apple News. And I don’t even have Reddit as a filter or preferred source on my subscription.

That’s a good question often asked[9] and the general conclusion is this: nobody knows. There is a school of thought that the freshly updated Reddit New User Agreement[10] now gives Reddit the right to sell your original pictures and other content in all media formats and channels as of September 2021, and you waive any and all claims with regard to your content[11].

Either way, your Reddit story could well be monetised in some way by any random third party and you will rarely be asked for permission, acknowledged as the author or share in any profit. Reddit actually has Press Guidelines[12] which you might find interesting, along with a general press/media/brand guide[13].
