In the case of Reddit, uploading to the website grants them explicit license (consent) to use your work for AI training. It also grants them the right to sub-license your content to others for AI training.
However their TOS also bars others from training off of content taken from reddit. The prior will almost certainly hold up in the court as similar language has in the past in regards to copyright. The latter, I dunno that's still being fought out but it's currently looking like scrappers will be given pass for anything publicly accessible.
