No it’s their content. You gave it to them in exchange for a platform on which people can find out about it.
You also get from it the good feeling when people ‘upvote’ your content. It’s a pretty good deal in that you only pay for it by seeing some ads.
You’re free to setup your own blog and send emails to your friends about the links you like.
- raverbashing 3y agoTheir TOS literally says otherwise
- saxonww 3y agoI think you're missing the point. Reddit is not entitled to a user base. They have to provide a product users are interested in using. Right now, a lot of users are upset with Reddit and have decided to stop using it. It doesn't matter whether you agree with them or think they are being reasonable. We'll see who ultimately comes out ahead. I figure it will be Reddit, but that doesn't mean anything about this is difficult to understand. This is how being a consumer works when you're upset with a provider and can't vote with your wallet.

- bottlepalm 3y agoObvious and inconsequential as what you want access to are the links submitted by other people which you don't have ownership of. And we are just talking about links, which in most cases the submitter does not own the referenced content anyways.
