Apparently[1] at one point Reddit only supported SSL through a separate subdomain that was created to let people pay for ad slots on the main site (back in the days where people thought HTTPS was only important for protecting payment information). That same subdomain also happened to serve normal Reddit pages if you passed it the right URLs, so HTTPS-Everywhere added it to their rules causing all Reddit users with HTTPS everywhere installed to get redirected to pay.reddit.com. I assume the domain only exists for legacy reasons now.
