It's one thing if you're processing and doing work with the data but Reddit will be getting $60,000,000 a year for simple having the data.

They can't do the work without the data, though.

Or rather, they can't do the work without the risk of Reddit raising a legal fuss that would cost them more than $60 million. The data itself can already be downloaded for free from various places.
