This is lame. The poster made a good point. If it’s not your platform, then you don’t own it.

so if I started a new sub Reddit that was part of a particular company initiative and connected people with it, I would not own that sub Reddit because it is not my platform.

this is a problem.

You are correct. Any content created on someone else's site isn't yours - Youtube, Facebook, HN, etc. Even Gmail. We are making a tradeoff for reach, access, performance, etc.

Is that true? I don't know about the other services, but YouTube has this to say in their terms of service:
