I have stopped using Reddit for this reason. I can’t prove it, but I’m sure the communities forcing Reddit video/images are mods paid by Reddit. I used to get traffic to some of my old sites from Reddit, but then I kept finding my vids & content uploaded to Reddit and I wasn’t getting credit and lost almost all the traffic to my sites. Those sites were run exclusively from ad revenue from people visiting my content. Reddit stole my content and I had to shut down my sites because they no longer made enough money to pay for domain and hosting.

I’ll point out, I wasn’t making much from my sites. $50 was a good month.
