Technically speaking, that data has some cost; just that Reddit’s actual cost to serve that data is far lower than what they’re trying to charge Third Parties.
It also has the opportinity cost of the viewer not getting first party ads or giving tracking data. Even with these things, though, it’s still nowhere near what they’re charging.
They also had a revenue and/or profit sharing agreement with one of the bigger Android apps up until a little bit after Huffman took over as CEO. So it’s not like they couldn’t have had a slice of the pie anyways.

Also, fuck ads and tracking data.
