I feel like boiling that paragraph down to "they own your shit" is misleading.
IANAL, but doesnt "non-exclusive" mean that while they have the right to do all that, they dont prevent anyone else from also having those rights?
From my perspective it seems like they're giving themselves the option to use content from their site however they see fit, but they aren't preventing the content creators from doing the same.
If I made some awesome painting that was displayed at an art gallery, said gallery could use essentially the same paragraph to allow themselves to use photos of the painting in their gallery for promotional purposes, etc.
I feel like non-exclusive rights arent quite ownership. I feel like when you "own" something, you have exclusive rights.
There's nothing here!
