I'm sure NY Times, Conde Nest all have licensing deals. Mr. Beast signed a deal with Amazon. Joe Rogan with Spotify. Why is it hard to understand? Even HN can get a licensing deal if they want to. If you are producing content, you have every right to do what you want to with the content.

Reddit is not producing any content; its users are.

Users sign a deal to give Reddit the content.
