It's because reddit is selling content created by users, base on promises that reddit supports open internet, open data, etc, without their consent and sharing revenue, which maybe legal but likely not ethical.
Let's get specific. You're confusing with copyright and licensing.
The users hold the copyright (reddit claim that they made the meme) but reddit has the non-exclusive right to redistribute and license the content.
Two different things.
