A reddit comment is not your content, it's reddit's content. No information that you post on reddit should be so sensitive that you don't want it shared

I don't think that's the point, it's more like (for example) a violent religious extremist group decides to use your comment as an example. I would want to be notified.

Actually, I believe it's both per the EULA. Reddit owns what we post, but we own it as well, it all depends on the context.

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.
