All their media is hosted under the redditstatic domain, and as far as I can tell, that's hosted on AWS. (There's actually also a redditmedia domain, which they may also use, but that's also on AWS).

That probably means that Reddit can get away with saying they don't host any of it. They merely point their web addresses at the third party host.

No, they really can't. They own and operate the redditstatic domain and rent the server space from AWS. De jure that makes them the hoster.

But they provide the methods of uploading, deleting and viewing the contents of that storage to their end users.
So, it's Reddits storage.

They are responsible for that AWS account. No court in its right mind would think otherwise.
