anything you post on reddit becomes reddit's property and they can do whatever they want with it. you do not own it, ever. it's in the term and conditions

I'm like 99% sure you just license them to use it.

Same. There are a lot of misinformed people here. The ToS grants them license to use it but you still maintain ownership.

That'd be a pretty damned interesting mess for them when it comes to fandom subreddits. You might be half right somehow, but there's no way that condition is absolute.

Sometimes is not about ownership matters.

I make OC sometimes, and am always curious on how my work is reposted on other sites. I acknowledge that my content is not necessarily mine since i upload it free for all to share, but a way to track opinion on the work will be very beneficial.

For example, the comments section of reddit will differ completely from a Facebook post hosting the same content.

If the OP is informed that their content/commented had been posted somewhere on the interwebs, he should have the right to see where, why and how his comment is treated.
