It's not Reddit's content, it's your content and you grant them a license to it. The difference matters for a few reasons:
1. It means the cyber-vandalism law that the grandparent proposed wouldn't have any teeth here because it legally still belongs to you.
2. They can't change that provision because a good chunk of the TOS is about how the fact that it's your content means they're not liable for it. Their nonliability looks a lot fishier if they're also claiming copyright.
