IANAL. For the US, users grant Reddit a license to use their content when they post it. The users still own that content. Reddit's license does not extend to your reuse of it[0], nor have the underlying users directly granted you permission, so it would not be legal (in the US) for you to reuse like that.

- lelandfe 3y agoPosting that you’re going to be “using Reddit data to pre-seed the content” may make it a bit harder to dodge Reddit in court.
