To be clear, what Reddit is saying is that "You cannot use any Reddit developer tools and services for commercial purposes without first getting our permission. We consider commercial purposes to include any use of our services by a business or on behalf of a business or as part of a monetized product or service." However, "Use for research purposes is OK provided you use it exclusively for academic (i.e. non-commercial) purposes, don't redistribute our data or any derivative products based on our data (e.g. models trained using Reddit data), credit Reddit and anonymize information in published results." I think we'll see more and more institutions adopting similar policies, especially those that produce a lot of data. For my own part my use of the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license creates exactly this limitation (the need for which, if I may say, I anticipated years ago and have spent a lot of time explaining to people).
