Like the author of this paper said, for me it's not really about third party apps. The problem is that reddit try to monetize a content that is our collective property.

Is it our property though?

Intellectually speaking yes, but legally speaking? Probably not. Chances are if its stored on their servers, it belongs to them.

Maybe this isn't true everywhere, but I would have thought that our comment history would be legally ours via GDPR?
