They are collecting emails? That is a huge change in policy. Not sure why it isn't getting more attention...

Reddit knows what subs you subscribe to, and by requiring email for those questionable subs, Reddit has the emails of all those subscribed to those subs.

Whether they are doing anything with it, beats me. But in essence they are creating a collection this way.

That's just the nature of websites, though.
