There’s still a social contract that is supra the ToS: treat me and my contributions well and we will stick around. Stop, and we won’t.
Yes, Reddit can (try, at least) get away with anything they claim in the ToS — but community members have every right to step away and render Reddit valueless because they have been told that they are not valued.
Pretending that a legal contract supersedes a social contract is wishful thinking. They are orthogonal.
